The Wisconsin Green Party invites you to a one-day virtual Green Campaign School on Saturday December 19th for anyone who is interested in running for office as a Green, working on a Green campaign, or learning more about grassroots campaigning.

We highly encourage people who are planning to run for office (or considering a campaign) to attend together with their prospective campaign managers and other key team members. The campaign school is also open to anyone who wants to support Green campaigns and would like to gain the skills and knowledge needed to be part of a campaign team.

The campaign school will consist of a welcome and introductions starting at 11:30am Central time, and workshops from 12-5pm Central time. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the workshops will be held online via videoconference. Attendees are welcome to join anytime to observe.
