RevUpMA members attended this webinar and found it very helpful. One of the most compelling features was its attention to young voters.

What the webinar is about
Now more than ever, our communities need to be seen and heard. As rapid changes happen across the country, engaging candidates is one way nonprofits can bring lived experiences to the table – and invite candidates to listen.
Topics covered:
- Why and how to host a candidate forum
- Ideas to engage candidates beyond forums like meet and greets
- Common challenges – like low candidate response rates or coalition dynamics – and how to navigate them
- How events can help voters feel more “in the know” and empowered
