¡Un abrazote y mil gracias a lxs participantes de nuestra primera cohorte de la Escuela de Campaña en español! 🔥

Este finde, nos juntamos con vecinxs de todo Waterbury pa’ aprender cómo de verdad funciona el gobierno local — y cómo usar la política electoral como una de muchas herramientas pa’ organizar el barrio y luchar por cambios que sí se sientan.

Gracias por llegar los tres días corridos, por las preguntas, la energía y ese deseo de echar pa’lante nuestras comunidades.

Shoutout especial a nuestros facilitadores duros Coralys Santana y Rafael Rosario 💥

Gracias a Papi’s Kitchen por llenarnos el corazón y la barriga 🫶🏽🍴🇩🇴

Y a The People's Place por prestarnos su espacio brutal con coworking, salones de reunión y más 🔑🏢

El barrio dijo presente — ¡y esto es solo el comienzo! ✊🏽

Big love to the amazing participants of our first-ever Campaign School cohort in Spanish! 💪🏽✨

This weekend, residents from across Waterbury came together to learn how local government really works — and how to use electoral politics as just one of the many tools we got to organize our communities and fight for the changes we need.

Thank you for showing up all three days, for bringing your questions, your energy, and your passion to build something better.

Special shoutout to our powerhouse facilitators Coralys Santana & Rafael Rosario 💥

Big thanks to Papi’s Kitchen for keeping us full and happy all weekend 🍽️

And love to The People’s Place for holding us in their beautiful coworking and community space 🏢🧡

The community showed up, and we’re just getting started. ✊🏽
