Candidate Resources

You are the change. That’s the truth at the heart of it all, but
let’s be honest, it helps to know what you’re doing. Change
doesn’t just happen because we want it to. It happens when we
understand how to make it happen. That’s why having a plan
matters, whether it’s learning from my book that shows
candidates exactly how to win elections or diving into any of
the many books out there geared toward activism and creating
real change. Knowledge is power, but more than that, it’s
direction.
When you take the time to learn, you’re equipping yourself with
the tools to navigate challenges, avoid common pitfalls, and
build momentum for your cause. It’s not just about knowing what
you stand for; it’s about understanding how to get others to
stand with you. Activism and political change require strategy,
and that’s something you can learn and improve with the right
resources.
If you’re stepping into the world of grassroots politics,
community organizing, or any kind of activism, start with the
knowledge that success isn’t random. It’s built on preparation,
persistence, and a solid understanding of how to move forward
effectively. That’s how you turn good intentions into tangible
results. You already have the passion. Pair it with the
know-how, and you’ll see just how much change you’re capable of
creating.
I will be listing available resources here that are available to
candidates. Reply to this topic to share such resources, and I
will add them here. There is also a Youtube Playlist

/>that anyone can also add suitable Youtube videos Here

We are looking at making the use of campaign fundraising
platforms such as Raise The Money

so that we can
ensure contribution shenanigans will be kept to a minimum (keep
grassroots candidates grassroots).
