Boot-CAMPaign for Change
📣 Calling all BIPOC (future) Candidates & Campaign Managers 📣
Boot-CAMP is a FREE program for progressive folks of color who are interested in using electoral politics to build a racially just Oregon.
We know that our electoral system was not built to uplift folks of color. To combat this, our goal with Boot-CAMP is to combine the technical skills that are needed to run a campaign with centering the experiences of BIPOC candidates and campaign managers.
When you leave Boot-CAMPaign for Change school, you will:
Understand the expectations and impacts of a candidate and campaign manager
Have tools to build trusting relationships amongst your campaign team and partners
Know what it takes to lead a successful campaign that is aligned with progressive values, including basic campaign plan mechanics: campaign management, fundraising and budgeting, communications, and field work
Thank you to our sponsor, New Oregon Movement! New Oregon Movement is a collective of Black, Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) organizations and individuals dedicated to uplifting and improving the lives of BIPOC community members and leaders in Oregon.
