Friday evening: Training trainers
By Jenna Lowenstein, Interactive Media Coordinator, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
Bright and early tomorrow morning, our Power Summit participants will be heading out into L.A. to have conversations with California voters about marriage equality. We’re going to be having most of our conversations with undecided and unsupportive voters, so in order to get ready for those conversations, tomorrow’s trainers got together this evening to practice and prepare.
-
- Canvass leaders chow down as they train for tomorrow’s canvass.
-
- Laura and Milton train the canvass leaders.
-
- Two participants practice their canvass scripts
The take-home message? Nothing can stop us from talking to voters and starting conversations that will change hearts and minds. At the end of the training, everyone learned a new chant:
Fences have latches
Dogs have tails
Signs aren’t for us
In other words, we can go through fence gates, read dogs’ moods by their tails, and ignore ‘No Solicitation’ signs — since we’re not soliciting.
Look out L.A.!
