Organizer Club Resources
The purpose of this club is to offer social opportunities and shareable resources to precinct chairs and anyone grassroots organizing in their neighborhoods and friend groups. Let’s all expand our spheres of influence, expand turnout, and flip seats!
Sign up for the organizing club here: www.fedds.org/organizing-club
We encourage organizers to do what works for them. You can go deep into precinct work or focus on hosting postcard parties with your neighbors, letter writing, and lit sticking (which is dropping off get out the vote literature) in your area. Whatever you have bandwidth for and makes sense for you and your area is cool by us! Everything helps increase turnout - and that’s the point!!

** The Precinct Workbook, by Jill Cochran *
Thanks to the hard work and commitment of FEDDs founder Jill Cochran, she has developed an innovation to benefit organizers: The Precinct Workbook. The workbook is a multi-tab spreadsheet with your area’s voters broken into segments - to make it easy to organize in your area. Using Jill’s fantastic workbook you are able to dive deeper into relational organizing. Jill can show you how to get started and organize in your precinct with her helpful training guide and manual. Her individualized training and support is invaluable. Connect with Jill: kjdcochran@gmail.com
