Informed, Engaged, and Committed
2024 Election Season Workshops for Catholic Voters
This election season, faith-filled advocates are learning the importance of multi-issue voting. Join NETWORK’s Grassroots Mobilization Team for a four-part series to learn how to be a multi-issue voter, engage people in challenging conversations, build hope-filled narratives that inspire people to care about important issues, and explore concrete actions you can take to influence the election.
Each workshop session has multiple time slots, but you only need to sign up for one since the content will be repeated. You do not have to sign up for the same time slot each week. We hope that you can attend all four workshops in the series, but we will welcome your participation in any!
Week 1
Week 1: Multi-issue Voting
Our social teachings and tradition provide us with a framework for living responsibly and building a just society. In an election year, this includes being a multi-issue voter. Join us to learn more deeply about what it means, as Catholics, to be multi-issue voters, and what that looks like this election year. Using NETWORK’s Equally Sacred Checklist as a guide, we will discern ways you can be an informed, engaged, and committed voter this year.

Week 2
Week 2: Breaking Through the Election Noise, Part I
Conversations are hard in a world as divided as ours, and yet they’re critical to advancing the world that we want to build together. Join us to discuss the barriers to transformation and develop the skills needed to break down those barriers and advance justice through transforming those in our own circles, during this election season and beyond.

Week 3
Week 3: Breaking Through the Election Noise, Part II
So-called commonsense narratives often define what people believe. The secret to believability is crafting a narrative that people can understand and repeat easily. Join us to learn the principles of Race Class Narrative and how it helps to build an effective narrative that invites people into the work of justice without watering down our goals.
