If you’ve been wondering how to get involved in Temple Beth El’s social justice efforts or have been asking yourself “but what can I DO?” about all of the brokenness in our country right now, join us for a Community Organizing 101 Training. Together we will learn some of the basics of community organizing – what is it, how does it work, and how can it help us bring about the changes we seek in making the world a more just place. Specifically, we will be training on the cycle of organizing, the difference between a “coffee date” and a one-on-one relational meeting, and explore power and the ways in which we might build power in partnership with others to have the greatest possible impact in our community. Once training is complete you will have the opportunity to join one of our three issue teams focusing on PreK-12 education, criminal justice, or affordable housing.
