SUMMARY:Block by Block Training & Action Series | Virtual Training by SURJ
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our ‘Block by Block’ Training & Action Series—a hands-on program designed to help you launch and lead a team for 2026 national campaign! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBlock by Block is SURJ’s 2026 national campaign to elect champions for working people\, block MAGA\, and fight for the future we deserve. We do this through three strategies: Mobilize through mass action\, Elect working class champions\, and Grow a strong\, active base. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis online training series is designed to train and support new groups\, circles and chapters to run Block by Block: Solidarity Rising in your communities for the rest of the year. Groups will deepen organizing skills\, align with national strategy\, and be ready to take action locally. We’ll meet every other week online for training. On the off weeks\, your group will gather locally to practice skills\, grow your base\, and take action. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis training series will consist of three modules\, each focused on one part of our strategy: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGrow Module — March 4 & 18\, 2026\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn how to bring new people into your group\, plug them into meaningful roles\, build strong and accountable teams\, and develop leaders who can carry the work forward. Growing our base is essential to winning—this is how we build the scale and discipline needed to carry out Block by Block for the rest of the year. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMobilize Module — April 1\, 15 & 29\, 2026\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet trained to organize coordinated\, strategic action using tools of mass noncooperation. Prepare to move quickly when our rights and democracy are threatened\, and build toward May Day: A Day Without Workers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nElect Module — May 13\, 2026\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn why governing power is a key part of our strategy and the role your circle\, chapter\, or group can play in supporting progressive candidates and blocking MAGA power. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBy the end of this series\, your group will be ready to grow your base\, mobilize for action\, and take part in electoral strategy. We’ll provide all the structure\, toolkits\, and guidance you need to plug into our national program and make a real difference—block by block. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe encourage at least one member from every group\, circle\, or chapter to join\, but ideally more! Sign up for all the sessions—even if you can’t make them all\, we’ll send recordings so you won’t miss anything. And for more info on the Block by Block campaign\, check out the 1-pager. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for Details
