CALENDAR OF EVENTS
Relational Organizing
Where does community power come from? How can I include my loved ones in my activism? What is relational organizing?
Bring some friends and join in on CAPI's Relational Organizing Workshop to learn and practice bringing your loved ones into the movement. Together we’ll practice pod-mapping, ground ourselves in collectivism, and make relational organizing a regular habit.
Let's build organizing into our routines, like brushing our teeth in the morning!
