Upcoming Events

Hello Rural Caucus members and friends!

We just wanted to remind you of our Rural Caucus Cafe Chat next Monday, May 11th, at 6:30PM! This is a great opportunity to just chat with folks from across the state. No agenda, no presentation, no pressure- just come as you are and connect with allies of the cause. Ask questions, share best practices, or just listen in!

Whether you're a County Party Chair, a longtime volunteer, or an individual helping out candidates in your neighborhoods, we want you to join us to share any questions, thoughts, or awesome breakthroughs you've had. We need to ensure we are equipped statewide with the best tools ahead of a pivotal November election, so grab your favorite beverage, and join us for a casual conversation around what's happening!

Sign up here!

Join the County Chairs Association for this training, open to all!

We'll be joined by Chloe Maxmin of Dirtroad Organizing. Chloe will be sharing more practical steps about how we can take the messaging concepts we've been learning out into the real world. While most of our discussion so far has focused on digital spaces, Chloe's training is all about face-to-face conversations - whether at a stranger's door or with people we know. How do we find shared values across differences? How do we make a lasting impact with our voter contact work? What happens when a conversation goes sideways? And this isn't just theory; Chloe knocked on over 13,000 doors over her two Maine State Legislature campaigns and has trained hundreds of candidates and volunteers in this work.

The training will take place on Sunday, May 17th, from 6-7:30 pm (note the slightly earlier start). You can register for the training here: REGISTRATION LINK. See you there!

Forward,

Emily and Wayde
