Just touching base — Our introductory training event focused on first-time Asian American and Pacific Islander candidates with Public Wise is tomorrow.
We’re bringing together an expert trainer, an amazing organization, and a curated curriculum designed to go through all the considerations of making the decision to run. And we’ll give you a preview right here of what’s to come!
The trainer: Vanessa Hsia is a digital-comms enthusiast and writer based in D.C. She currently leads communications strategy at a community organization called Femex, and has spent the past year training grassroots organizers and comms professionals on messaging and digital advertising with Priorities USA.
The partner org:Public Wise is committed to forging a diverse, multiracial Democratic Party. They accomplish this work by investing in research, supporting grassroots campaigns, and investing in educational opportunities like this training!
The curriculum: You’ll learn four key takeaways during Tuesday’s training. By the end, you’ll understand the steps to run for office, get help choosing the best office to run for, identify what support you’ll need, and even prepare to sharing your decision with your personal network.
This training does not commit you to a run for office. But it will provide you with the support you need to get started in earnest. We hope to see you tomorrow, Tuesday, October 17, at 1pm ET!
