We’re building a group of folks who want to volunteer, learn, and take action together through our Dialing Democracy trainings.

This isn’t a lecture.
It’s a quick session where we walk through:

• How to have real conversations with friends and family
• How to turn those conversations into action
• How to start organizing in your own circles

If you’ve ever felt like you should be doing something but didn’t know where to start, this is it.

No experience needed. Just show up.

Thursdays at 5:30 PM
Jump in, learn something, and start getting involved.

We have officially hit the halfway point of and the hunt is heating up.
For the past couple weeks teams have been all over the city exploring El Paso, checking activities off the list, and stacking up points. Parks, murals, local spots, sunsets, and a few surprises along the way. It has been awesome seeing people out with friends and family getting into the hunt.
Right now 19 teams are competing and these four are currently leading the pack (in no particular order):
