hey PWR,
Students in Solidarity at Pitt has invited us to participate
in this great activist training session called GROW. These
are really great, and free, so we need to take advantage of it.
Perhaps this week we can nominate some folks to go and
represent PWR. RSVP'ing is important for this one.

Organize! Build! Win!
GROW has been developed by the USSA Foundation and community organizers to
give students the tools to solve the problems we face and to build our
organizations around the principles of Direct Action Organizing to ensure
long-term change. Through an interactive, hands-on environment, GROW is
designed to help you:
- Overcome lack of participation on campus
- Develop strategies to win specific issue campaigns
- Gain hands-on organizing experience
- Build more effective coalitions
- Increase the membership, reputation, funding, and influence of your
organization
How GROW works
USSA's GROW training program is broken up into a series of
presentations,
hand's on exercises, and discussions (see GROW Agenda) which enable
students to learn a variety of tools which will strengthen all aspects
of
student organizing. Seasoned student organizers share experiences,
easy-to-understand guidelines, and critique to enhance the utility of
the
training on your campus. Students who attend GROW are strongly
encouraged
to attend the FULL weekend as the sessions in GROW build on each other
and
will enhance understanding of all of the concepts.
