National Democratic Training – March 29, 2024

Posted on March 29, 2024

Spring into April with training events focused on fundraising fundamentals 🌷💸

And before you register for a live training, don’t forget about our many courses on fundraising topics and skills.

Maybe you’re trying your hand at this for the first time; dive into Intro to Fundraising.

Looking to level or switch up your strategies? Then Five Ways to Raise Money for Your Campaign walks you through the most innovative tactics for securing those essential funds.

You can check out this plan and more by logging into your free NDTC account today!

How to Raise Money Through Candidate Call Time
Tuesday, April 2 at 1pm ET
Can’t make this one? Don’t worry – we’re hosting this training again on Wednesday, April 17

This training will arm you with an indispensable skill to elevate your campaign’s fundraising game: call time.

Learn how to set achievable goals, write an effective, compelling script, and optimize follow-up strategies for maximum impact. Don’t miss this opportunity to strengthen your campaign’s financial backbone and secure your path to victory.

From Message to Money
Monday, April 8 at 1pm ET

Unlock the power of message-aligned fundraising asks for Democratic campaigns in this upcoming training.

We’ll delve into the winning techniques in crafting compelling fundraising asks that resonate deeply with your audience’s values and priorities. Let your core message speak for itself and draw in financial support!

How to Maximize Your Personal Network to Raise Money
Tuesday, April 9 at 1pm ET

This training provides insights and the best practices for leveraging your personal connections to support your fundraising goals. You will walk away with the ability to identify key individuals within your network who are likely to contribute. Learn the ins and outs of persuasive fundraising appeals plus how to tailor them to various audiences.

Don’t miss this opportunity to expand your donor base and achieve fundraising success!

Raising Money Online
Friday, April 19 at 1pm ET

Small-dollar email fundraising is one of the most effective ways to garner monetary support for your campaign.

But it’s not as simple as drafting an email with a few “GIVE NOW” buttons!

This training pulls back the curtain on what email audiences look for in an email, how persuasion drives donations, and possible ways to test content.

And it doesn’t stop there! You can always visit the Online Academy’s Course Catalog, set up a free account, and keep track of your progress while taking advantage of our extensive course offerings.

Let’s talk about School Boards. ❗Kennewick, Prosser, and Richland pay attention ❗School boards make important decisions about public schools. They hold significant power over children's rights, setting policies that determine curricula, extracurricular programs, student discipline, and how district funds are spent. Kennewick, Prosser, and Richland have some big decisions to make in this election. We’ve outlined some quick points on each candidate to help with your research but remember to read your Voters’ Pamphlet and to research each candidate (some of them have campaign websites that make their goals loud and clear). And don’t forget to VOTE! Even if you don’t have children your vote could help your neighbors, family members, or the kids who sell lemonade down the street every summer. Remember, the policies and decisions made by school boards can have long-lasting effects on your community and its future generations. ... See MoreSee Less

Richland Voters! If you were unaware, Donald Landsman passed away on August 31, 2025. First and foremost, we’d like to send our deepest condolences to the entire Landsman family and we are keeping them in our thoughts during this difficult time.Regarding the upcoming election, you might be wondering what will happen if Donald Landsman wins the Richland City Council Position 4 seat.Under Washington law, Landsman is on the ballot because he won the primary election (on August 5, 2025) and his campaign is active. If he wins the general election, his seat will remain vacant until the Richland City Council appoints a successor. The position will then appear on the 2026 ballot, allowing voters to elect a candidate to complete the remainder of the four-year term.In short, if you vote for Landsman you are not actually voting for him, you are voting for the Richland City Council to pick a temporary successor. If you aren’t comfortable with that then let’s take a closer look at the other candidate running for the Richland City Council Position 4 seat: John Maier.As a young adult, John Maier is motivated to change Richland city codes to facilitate more affordable housing, to represent Richland’s needs with Ben Franklin Transit for longer service hours and more capacity for school trips, and to motivate others, especially young people, to engage in government. Learn more about him in your Voters’ Pamphlet.Do your research, know your candidates, and VOTE! ... See MoreSee Less

    1st Avenue & Vintage Valley Parkway Zillah, WA 98953

    **In Zillah, we don’t put up with would-be kings. Come out and let your neighbors know they aren’t alone.

    Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and stronger. “NO KINGS” is more than just a slogan—it’s the foundation our nation was built upon. Born in the streets, carried by millions in chants and on posters, it echoes from city blocks to rural town squares, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together.

    The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Grow our movement and join us.

    A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.

    Across Benton and Franklin Counties, the need is growing—but the resources aren’t. Government agencies and nonprofit organizations work tirelessly to provide shelter, food, addiction recovery, and mental health support. Yet even their combined efforts fall short of meeting the full scope of the crisis.

    So, what happens when the system can’t reach everyone? What do we do when the need shows up not in a spreadsheet, but on the corner holding a cardboard sign? We'll consider that question and more at our WEDNESDAY, October 22 Forum.
