Copper State Victory Organizing Academy

Organizing Academy

Great organizing doesn't happen by accident—it happens through learning, practice,

and building real relationships.

The Organizing Academy is a weekly interactive training designed for new and returning

volunteers who want to become more confident and effective organizers. Whether you've

never knocked a door, made a phone call, or volunteered for a campaign before—or

you're looking to sharpen your skills—this training will help you grow.

Each session begins with a Weekly Campaign Briefing, where you'll receive updates on

key races, campaign priorities, volunteer opportunities, and upcoming events so you

understand how your work fits into the bigger picture.

Weekly Training Modules

Learn how to build trust through meaningful conversations, discover what motivates

people to get involved, and develop the relational organizing skills that turn first-time

volunteers into long-term leaders.

manage volunteer information, and support effective field operations.

Field Organizing

Organizer Development

How we win in Arizona: Phoenix Action Session

Swing Left is making a stop in Phoenix! Join us in person for an interactive strategy session on

Ground Truth—our program to win back power from Republicans and rebuild the trust

Democrats need to win and keep winning.

Trump and MAGA aren’t invincible. Together, we can stop their assault on our democracy, our

neighbors, and our future. Over the past year and a half we’ve fought back—from protesting

nationwide to driving huge Democratic wins at the ballot box. This year’s midterms are our next

big chance to unseat Republicans, win back power at the federal level, and reverse the creep of

authoritarian politics.

Winning back control of Congress is step one in checking this administration's agenda and

building toward a full-fledged Democratic trifecta in 2028. And that’s just the beginning. The

work we do now, including here in Phoenix, is make or break for our democracy. Join Swing Left

and your neighbors who are also ready to take action for an in-person, interactive strategy

and action session.

We’ll cover:

• The Path to a Majority: The swing states and districts were supporting ahead of the

midterm elections to break Republican control in Washington.

• Deep Dive on "Ground Truth": You’ll learn more about Swing Left's innovative new

program that’s changing how Democrats talk with voters. We're using a new canvassing

app to start early, knock on doors, and listen deeply, then share insights with campaigns

and the party. You'll see firsthand how these conversations can help build trust and win

elections.

• Our Local Game Plan: Volunteers in Phoenix are key to the national strategy, and you can

play a critical role flipping the House, Senate, and building power in Arizona with Ground Truth.

If you're ready to do the smart, strategic work we need to win, in community with your

neighbors who are turning anxiety into action, this session is for you.

We'll host an optional canvass after the training! We hope you join us.
