Wednesday night we held our first Week of Action Host Call to prepare you on the steps you’ll take to plan virtual or in-person events during our September 20th-27th Voter Registration Week of Action. We covered event planning best practices and questions to ask yourself as a host. If you didn’t make our call, you can watch the recording of our call here to get caught up! 

We had a great time discussing the best practices and tips for creating your Week of Action events -- including a helpful sample checklist that will help guide you as you plan. 

Here are the goals we set out for our training:

  • Understand the different components of event management

  • Analyze best practices in event planning

  • Feel supported in process of setting up your (amazing) event 

Don’t forget to complete this week’s homework before our next host call on August 19th! 

  • Use our checklist and create your own draft of everything you need to do to get ready for your event.

  • Begin to create an agenda for your event -- we’ll dig into this more in call 3 so get some initial thoughts on paper. Review our When We All Vote Action Guide for ideas on agenda-building!

  • Lock down the date and time of your event, then put your event on the When We All Vote website.

And lastly -- to get connected with us on Slack and Facebook to organize your Week of Action with members of your community and to connect with Week of Action hosts across the country!
