The Multiracial Organizing Committee (MROC) has opened applications to join our inaugural Institute.
This Institute would consist of a virtual Kickoff Meeting on September 24, a in-person weekend session from October 7th-9th, and a few virtual post-sessions.
The agenda for the Institute will consist of trainings and dialogue around building a mass org, strategic campaigns, intentional recruitment, multiracial organizing, identity politics, developing leadership, and sessions around priority campaigns.
The application opens July 1, 2022 and closes at 11:59 pm PST on August 12, 2022. DSA members in good standing are welcome to apply, particularly those who identify as people of color. Spots are limited so this application and any follow up will be used by the MROC SC to make final decisions on attendees. All applicants will be notified no later than September 3, 2022.
Applicants must be able to commit to attending all pre- and post-sessions via Zoom and the in-person weekend. Costs to attend the in-person session (housing, travel, and food) will be covered by DSA through full or partial scholarships.
Qualities we’re looking for in our first Institute cohort include:
• a commitment to using their skills to do mass socialist organizing
• a willingness to engage in hands-on, exercise-based learning
• demonstrated leadership experience
• a vision for the future of DSA
