SUMMARY:Running for Office — Part 1
DESCRIPTION:Timed to help people considering a run for municipal office\, this training will cover how to tell your personal story\, build your campaign team\, and raise the money you need to win. \nBecause space is limited\, we may not be able to accept everyone who applies. Please tell us a little bit about yourself and why you want to come to the training. Deadline to apply is Sunday January 25th\, 2026. Apply here! Cost is $50.00 per person. \nWe aim to offer these trainings to as many people as possible to strengthen the progressive movement. While there are costs involved—staff time\, food\, venue rental\, and materials—the fee we’re asking for covers the basics. However\, we don’t want cost to be a barrier for anyone. If you can’t pay the full amount\, simply pay what you can afford. And if you’re unable to pay at all\, please apply anyway—we’ll do our best to accommodate you! If accepted into the program\, the trainer will discuss with you about payment options and sliding fees.

SUMMARY:Parents and Child Care Provider Community Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Lots of Mainers need childcare–to go to work\, to go to school\, to manage their families’ needs. Yet something so necessary is also increasingly out of reach for many families. At the same time\, people who care deeply about children are leaving the childcare profession because they just can’t make ends meet. \nMainers deserve a childcare system that everyone can access\, that serves as the well-funded cornerstone of our communities. We invite you to help us imagine that system and to join us as we fight to make it a reality! RSVP here!

SUMMARY:Story of Self (Monthly Organizing Fundamentals)
DESCRIPTION:Most of us have faced challenges and had to make (sometimes impossible) choices. Telling the stories of how we found ourselves in those situations is one way we make sense of the world and start to imagine a new one. \nIn this training we will learn the basics of personal story sharing in the context of community organizing and advocacy (sometimes known as public narrative). We will leave more prepared to share our own stories and experiences in public contexts\, and begin to understand the persuasive power of stories as a way of connecting people through values and leading others to action. \nThis training is open to all progressive staff and any volunteer who is ready to take a leap in their organizing skills.

SUMMARY:Democracy Not Theocracy
DESCRIPTION:A training on how to recognize and resist authoritarianism and White “Christian” Nationalism\n\nAuthoritarianism and White “Christian” Nationalism are closely linked and it’s up to us to expose that link and counteract it—for the good of our democracy and our faith. Because so-called “Christian” Nationalists and the authoritarian government they support threaten a foundation of our Constitution and our creed: belief in the sacred worth and equality of all people. \nThat’s why Maine Council of Churches and Multifaith Justice Maine are inviting you to attend this online training led by our national partners at Interfaith Alliance and get equipped to speak and act with the moral clarity this moment demands. \nAdam Friedman of Interfaith Alliance who will lead this training says\, “Faith communities have superpowers in this moment to make a real difference in unique ways. We will focus on showing what those superpowers are and how to activate them through interfaith nonviolent civil resistance.” \nAdam and others from Interfaith Alliance will teach us how to refuse to cede ground to anti-democratic activists who think their “religious freedom” should be a license to hurt others. We’ll learn how to thwart their desire for social control\, white supremacist beliefs\, gleeful malevolence\, and comfort with authoritarian violence. \nAt the end of the training\, you’ll learn about next steps you can take right here in Maine\, including a follow-up training that will be offered by Multifaith Justice Maine\, a group led by Rev. Dr. Jodi Hayashida. \nBecause you believe authoritarianism is a spiritual crisis and betrays the divine call to love\, justice\, and humility\, please join us for this important training. The Zoom link for this will be emailed to you prior to the start of the training. Please RSVP here!

SUMMARY:Talking to businesses about what to do if ICE shows up
DESCRIPTION:Unconstitutional workplace arrests by federal agents are on the rise across the country. As ICE agents continue to target Maine\, federal agents are relying on people not being prepared in order to get away with unconstitutional searches. We need workplaces across Maine to be educated and organized so that unconstitutional searches don’t continue to work here. Join us to learn about how to talk to workplaces about steps they can take to make their workplaces safer from ICE raids. We will discuss how to find workplaces to talk to\, what resources we should share\, and what strategies they can utilize to minimize harm when federal agents show up. RSVP here!

SUMMARY:How to Talk to Media Training
DESCRIPTION:Open to staff and volunteers who want to learn how to talk to media so that they control the story\, not the reporter or the other side. Skills will include preparing for an interview\, making points and answering questions so you’re more likely to be used in the ultimate story\, staying on message no matter what\, and connecting with reporters in a positive and productive way. Training will include group/pair practice and participants will leave with materials they can use for the future. \nBecause space is limited\, we may not be able to accept everyone who applies. Please tell us a little bit about yourself and why you want to come to the training. Deadline to apply is Monday February 16th\, 2026. Apply here! Cost is $50.00 per person. \nWe aim to offer these trainings to as many people as possible to strengthen the progressive movement. While there are costs involved—staff time\, food\, venue rental\, and materials—the fee we’re asking for covers the basics. However\, we don’t want cost to be a barrier for anyone. If you can’t pay the full amount\, simply pay what you can afford. And if you’re unable to pay at all\, please apply anyway—we’ll do our best to accommodate you! If accepted into the program\, the trainer will discuss with you about payment options and sliding fees.
