Oh, goody:
Organizing is not just about teaching people skills—it’s about training folks to go out into their communities to empower others. Some of the most passionate new organizers are meeting up this month to hone their skills at the OFA Organizer Academy trainings—and they are having a great time doing it.
OFA’s Organizer Academy is designed to teach techniques and share valuable hands-on experience to empower the organizers of tomorrow to take the next step in their communities. Supporters are learning to hold meaningful one-on-one conversations, phone bank, enter data, host events, and so much more.
@RBPundit Would this count as a reeducation camp? Asking for a friend. @OFA

The only thing better than the classes is the fashion:

A "camp" filled with "future organizers" wearing OFA t-shirts. Not. A. Cult.

@Matthops82 They're not a cult. @OFA
