How to Light a Fire: Downtown Advocacy and Community Engagement
December 1, 2012 in Announcements
Tuesday, Dec. 11, 5:15pm at Growers Market, 454 Willamette St., Eugene
Downtown needs some more badass activists! This is a workshop and discussion in which Alley Valkyrie tries really hard (really really hard) to share and convey how to be an effective local government watchdog/advocate/rabble rouser.
Topics that will be covered include interacting with police, media and messaging, a breakdown of rules and regulations, a rundown of relevant players, and how to work with (or without) city and county government. This workshop will be a mix of factual and procedural information combined with personal philosophy and lessons learned the hard way.
Bring a notebook and a pen. If you want to be a super cool kid, bring cookies as well.
