This workshop is designed for Unitarian Universalist congregations, but could be adapted for any group as an introduction to thinking about basebuilding, leadership development, and one-on-ones.

It’s easy to be absorbed by the activities of our justice work – setting up the table for coffee hour, trying to understand the everchanging policy context, and planning the next event. This workshop looks at the importance of relationships, recruitment, and leadership development as key and often-neglected pieces of our organizing work. How might we focus more on building our relationships, “base,” and leaders? People-focused organizing opens doors to more effective, spiritually rich, and demographically diverse organizing. Together we’ll talk about why a focus on people matters, learn a framework for assessing who’s in our activist crew, and play with various tactics for more effective and spiritually grounded recruitment and leadership development.
