HOW TO HOST EVENTS
Community meeting
Roles needed: Chair, presenter(s), outreach, tablers
Best for: Engaging community members on the issues closest to them and how they relate to a socialist program
Materials needed:
Campaign literature
Tabling materials (see Outreach Events)
Instructions: Assess the issues most relevant to the community that would bring people together. Organize an event discussing these issues through the lens of what solutions exist to address these concerns, the avenue to these solutions, and—in contrast—what capitalist politicians offer us.
The program should include one or multiple brief talks and plenty of space for discussion. A strong facilitator should be selected to chair the event, encourage engagement, and deepen the conversation.
Make sure to print plenty of campaign materials and collect sign-ups!
Follow-up: Input new sign-ups in a spreadsheet and share with info@votesocialist2024.com. Follow up with any new contacts.
Campus debate
Roles needed: presenter, moderator/chair, tabling, security, outreach
Best for: Reaching new people, raising the campaign’s profile, explore deeper issues of the campaign program
Location: Campus or another space
Materials needed:
Campaign literature
Tabling materials (see Outreach Events)
Instructions: Approach student organizations such as the College Democrats or College Republicans about participating in a debate, with students serving as proxies for the candidates of their respective parties. Organize an on-campus event through the student group(s), or invite them to a debate held at another space. Questions should be developed in advance and shared with the other organizations. Consider important local issues that can be taken up through the questions given to the debaters.

Fundraiser
It takes a lot of people power and funds to make this campaign run. We want to maximize the visibility of our socialist program and put forth the idea that in order for the planet and the people to survive, capitalism as a system must end. The resources exist to meet people’s needs and only the political will of the capitalist class stands in the way.
You can help us support the Vote Socialist 2024 campaign efforts. All funds go directly to petitioning, ballot access efforts and resources to amplify the campaign’s message.
How can you help? Consider hosting a fundraiser, sending a donation pitch to your contact list or promoting donations on social media.
All donations should be made on the website at votesocialist2024.com/donate
