Running for Local Office Workshop
One of the best ways to make change happen for people with disabilities is to become a local leader.
This may seem scary, but it isn’t (though it is definitely hard work).
We’ve piloted a workshop on “Running for Local Office” which demystifies the process – everything from registering to run and raising money, to getting out there and campaigning.
If you are interested, sign up below and we’ll let you know about upcoming sessions.
