Political Engagement

In addition to civic engagement events, the committee hosts political engagement events designed specifically to get the attention of audience members who are politically engaged. These events use activities that are based on national headlines

and candidates to get the attention of local people in the community. Events are focused on a single task that can be completed in a 2-to-3-hour window and have a very strong social aspect to them. (Appendix I) The event can be attended in person or virtually by anyone in the community who is interested. Book clubs, lecture series, movie nights, and postcard and text parties are a few examples of political engagement events that stand out for campaigns. These two styles of events are designed to capture different groups of audience members' attention. Civic engagement is a general public event, with political engagement being more focused on the activists in the community. Examples of political engagement events are listed in Appendix E in the membership section of this website. (Click here to go to the membership section.)
