“If we’re going to win, organizing is going to be key to getting us there” (With Elyssa Feder of Rising Organizers)

So, the election is over, political changes are afoot, and you’re looking to help people take action into their own hands. What do you do?
For Elyssa Feder and her team at Rising Organizers, the answer was to teach emerging activists the tools they need to change their communities, policies, and the world. By focusing on issues instead of elections, Rising Organizers helps people take steps towards making this change whether or not an election is on the horizon.
