Field Leaders Research Network
The Field Leaders Research Network (FLRN) was established in 2021 to help grassroots group leaders explore how the latest research can inform their political volunteering. FLRN members bring diverse skills and experience to the group. Some are experienced researchers, others are group leaders who want to learn and apply new information.
Grassroots Fundraising Network
The Grassroots Fundraising Network is an informal network of groups who raise money for campaigns, political organizations and civic organizations focused on voter participation. On the second Tuesday of each month at 2pm ET, GFN hosts an all-member meeting featuring a presentation from an invited guest speaker. There is a listserve for member announcements.
GFN is a group of volunteer fundraisers who came together informally in February 2019 around investments in the 2020 races. The individual groups have been very successful at raising funds for campaigns, political organizations and civic organizations focused on voter participation. GFN operates as a forum for participants to exchange ideas and report on their group’s activities.
Training
The Massachusetts Grassroots Information Collaborative offers weekly volunteer-led interactive training sessions. Classes range from basic Google Docs to advanced training on tools of the organizer trade, including Mobilize, WordPress, Action Network, Slack, and more.
