Thank you for your interest in organizing Conversations for the Night of 1,000 Conversations. Your role is essential to changing the harsh realities of a system that denies the basic human rights and civil liberties of people living in our nation.
Organizing Conversations in your community is important, easy and effective
- Contact RWG Field Coordinators to inform them about your interest;
- Set a goal for how many Conversations you want to host;
- Tap into your network (staff, members, volunteers, board members, allies, anyone you think would be interested) for people to serve as hosts;
- Register your Conversations
- Refer Hosts to the Night of 1,000 Conversations Toolkit for helpful tips on holding successful Conversations;
- Collect feedback forms and action items (postcards, letters) from the Hosts after the Conversations;
- Report back to RWG Field Coordinator or national office; and
- Join the Hold DHS Accountable! campaign by contacting Pabitra Benjamin at (202) 296-2300 x 130 or pbenjamin@rightsworkinggroup.org.
