Live from the NOI Bootcamp

Hey, this is Erin, guest blogging from the New Organizing Institute Boot Camp in DC. I’m sitting next to Ian and have an amazing view of the Washington Monument from our classroom at GWU. Since Sunday evening, we’ve put in over 30 hours for trainings, activities, and simulations. The level of expertise and enthusiasm in this room is incredible – trainers and trainees alike have been campaign managers, tech gurus, email mavens, field experts, bloggers, candidates and active at any other level of campaigns. Everything has been great, but best thing so far is the campaign simulation group activity. Groups are running campaigns for characters from the Simpsons and competing to see who can build the biggest list of email supporters. The project will culminate at the MoveOn viewing party for the Live Earth concert this Saturday. Show your love for my team (and get stay tuned for a ticket to the MoveOn party) by joining Lisa for President!
