▸ WHO IS LEADING THE TRAININGS?

TMC and State Voices have partnered with training partners throughout the movement to co-create meaningful content across all five tracks.

Our training partners include: BlueBonnet Data, Generation Data, Re:Power, Change the Game, Donor Organizer Hub, and Arena.

▸ WHEN & WHERE IS THE CHANGEMAKER SKILLS CAMP?

Venue: Loudermilk Conference Center, Atlanta, GA

Date: March 5 – March 8, 2024

Programming will begin at 2:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday. Skills sessions will end on Thursday evening, with a resume workshop and job fair on Friday from 9:30-12:00 p.m. ET.

All attendees will have access to an open workplace space (Tuesday, 9:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. ET).

WHAT IS A HYBRID EVENT?

A hybrid event is a conference that combines a live in-person event with virtual online components.

All track-specific sessions will be streamed live and recordings available after the conference. A limited number of virtual tickets will be available in each skills track.

WHEN CAN I REGISTER?

Tickets go live in mid-January until February 26, 2024.

HOW MUCH ARE THE TICKETS?

We want Changemaker Skills Camp to be financially accessible to as many organizers as possible. Our ticket prices reflect our dedication to that accessibility; similar events usually begin ticket pricing in the $300-450 range. If your employer offers professional development funding, we encourage you to consider using them to attend this skills training. We can offer some tips on making your case to your management if needed. However, if the cost of attendance represents a significant burden and would otherwise keep you from attending, email us at events@movementcooperative.org. We’ll do our best to help you join in.

DID TICKETS SELL OUT ALREADY? WILL YOU RELEASE ADDITIONAL TICKETS?

Due to a limited number of trainers, venue space, and budget, tickets for each training track are limited to ensure trainers and virtual moderators can deliver the best possible experience for their campers.

CSC 2024 compensates our trainers for their time and efforts. Depending on demand, we may be able to source and fund additional trainers. If tickets have sold out, please email events@movementcooperative.org with the subject line “CSC 2024 Waitlist” and include the training track you are interested in joining in the body of your email. We will add you to our waitlist to be notified should we reach the necessary threshold to be able to reopen ticket sales.

WHAT ARE HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS?

For the Changemaker Skills Camp in March 2024, there will not be a room block in Atlanta, Georgia. Two union hotels in the downtown Atlanta area are within a 15-minute walk or 4-minute drive from the Loudermilk Conference Center; Hyatt Regency Atlanta and Westin Peachtree Plaza. The Changemaker Skills Camp is not in contract with these hotels and recommends them as union-approved accommodation options.

☞ Hyatt Regency Atlanta | 265 Peachtree Street N.E. | Atlanta, GA 30303

☞ Westin Peachtree Plaza | 210 Peachtree St. NE | Atlanta, GA 30303

Where NOT to stay: While researching hotels to recommend, two hotels were flagged by labor organizers due to ongoing labor disputes in the Atlanta area. The Changemaker Skills Camp recommends not staying at these hotels in solidarity with their workers:

✖︎ Renaissance Concourse Atlanta Airport Hotel

✖︎ Westin Atlanta Airport

ARE MEALS INCLUDED IN THE COST OF MY REGISTRATION?

The Changemaker Skills Camp will include the following meals:

Tuesday: Light Lunch

Wednesday–Friday: Breakfast & Lunch

• Snacks, beverages, and coffee will be available throughout the day

All meals will include options for everyone who registers. If you have a specific dietary need for accommodation, please let us know when you submit your registration, and we’ll do our best to ensure your needs are met.

▸ HOW ARE THE TRAINING TRACKS ORGANIZED?

Each track will have a focused training curriculum to ensure attendees walk away with strong skills to implement in their daily work. Depending on your training track, you will dig into topics as wide-ranging as SQL training, streamlining accounting processes, or creating human-centered organizations.

Unlike other conferences, attendees will sign up for their training track when registering and then stay together throughout the conference. We think that this cohort- (or if you like the camp metaphor, cabin-) style curriculum will help foster a lively environment for collaboration and opportunities for attendees to get closer to their movement peers.

▸ WHAT ARE THE TRACKS FOR CSC 2024?

Data Level 1 Track will cover Google Sheets, project management, intro/intermediate SQL, No-Code Tools, Professional Development, Civic Engagement Tools, Intro to Python, Intro to Visualization and a Hackathon.

Data Level 2 Track will cover google sheets, professional development, advanced SQL, DBT, collaborative working, team management, advanced Python or R, Parsons, intermediate/advanced Visualizations and a Hackathon

Digital + Communications: The Digital + Communications Engagement training track will break down the strategic and tactical components of creative communications campaigns that look beyond vanity metrics to successfully engage and build power in our communities. Participants can look forward to case studies, workshops, special speakers, and scenario practice that will guide campers in unifying many moving pieces into holistic strategic communications, including:

✹ Earned, paid, and owned media;

✹ The significance of narrative and culture work;

✹ Digital tool stacks, organizing, and tactics;

✹ Video, graphic design, and creative/non-traditional mediums; and

✹ Unifying data with organizing and outreach to maximize impact.

Entry-level, mid-career, and managerial/executive-level professionals are all encouraged to participate!

Finance + Operations: At the Finance + Operations training track at the 2024 Changemaker Skills Camp you’ll learn skills such as HR/People and Culture, Security and Tech, Finance, and Contracts and Compliance skills that can help the movement as a whole!

Participants will be guided through finance regulation best practices, tech support and security, how to negotiate contracts, and many more! If you’ve wondered about Operations or Finance as a career path, this is the track for you.

Topics covered include identifying the cultural landscape of upholding our values, certifications and if they are needed, scalability and strategy for project management, resume build out, and how to get into operations, as just a few!

Development: Fundraising in Crises and Creating Resilient Strategy: Fundraising during crises - from rapid response to the chronic, co-craft strategies for resilience and stability as well as experimenting with alternative forms of revenue.

Collaborative Asks and Shared Infrastructure: Together, we’ll explore and map collaborative ask-making across organizations. We’ll discuss what shared infrastructure could look like between our efforts.

Data for Empowerment: From the internal fundraising data in our CRMs and databases to the stories we collect and share, we’ll discuss how data and metrics can empower our work - especially those beyond counting dollars raised.

WHEN WILL THE CAMP AGENDA BE POSTED?

Final agendas listed under Detailed Track Agendas.

Yes! We hope to source a keynote speaker from the progressive community who can speak about how our movement can build bridges using data, technology, and shared collective wisdom to accomplish more. If you’re a speaker with an abundance mindset, a technology or organizing background, and a vision you’d like to share with our attendees, please email us at events@movementcooperative.org with your information and ideas!

DIGITAL SECURITY 101 TRAINING FOR ALL ATTENDEES

No matter where your career in progressive politics leads you, you'll need to know how to keep your online accounts and data safe. Informed by Personified Tech's experience providing IT and cybersecurity services to campaigns and organizations in the progressive movement, this training will equip you with the essentials to understand why and how to protect your accounts and devices.

This training will start with an overview of threat modeling, helping you understand the potential risks you face online and how to identify and prioritize them. You will learn how attackers get into your accounts, and how to use passwords and two-factor authentication (2FA) to block them. We'll also talk about social engineering, and how you can protect your device and data from phishing and deception.

Whether you're working on communications. operations, data, or development, you'll interact with data and accounts that you'll have a responsibility to protect. This training will give you the foundation to uphold that responsibility and keep yourself and your organization safe!

OTHER CONFERENCE ACTIVITIES

We are planning a conference that will include the following:

• Networking opportunities

• Unconference space

• Friday Job Fair & Resume Workshop

HOW DOES THE CHANGEMAKER SKILLS CAMP CENTER DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION, AND ACCESSIBILITY (DEIA)?

We are committed to fighting oppressive systems and structures at The Changemaker Skills Camp. Our programming will prioritize centering racial, class and disability justice equity. In addition, camp planners will support diverse (race, ethnicity, gender, age, viewpoint, geography, neurotype, ability, etc.) session leaders. We are part of a collective project to transform our society. This ethos echoes the spirit of transformation. It calls on us to hold each other up, not push each other out.

We want to be a fair and equitable community, which requires being explicit and adaptable. These equity, power, inclusion, and liberation principles articulate our values so that partners understand our shared expectations of how our organizations align internally and function externally.

WHAT WILL THE SPACE PROVIDE FOR THOSE WHO NEED ACCESSIBILITY ACCOMMODATIONS?

The Changemaker Skills Camp is committed to providing an accessible space for all of our community. During registration, you can identify some needs you may have, using the “Accessibility Needs/Accommodations” field on the ticketing page to share any accommodations or accessibility needs you may have so we can work with you and/or our venue to provide a safe and comfortable environment that will allow you to fully participate in the Changemaker Skills Camp.

✹ Our venue, the Loudermilk Conference Center, has wheelchair access available via ramps and elevators throughout the conference space. Priority seating can be made available in all spaces upon request. Bathrooms in the venue space are wheelchair accessible.

✹ Accessibility devices, such as mobility scooters, hearing aid loop systems, or assistive listening devices can be made available upon request.

✹ Personal Care Aides (PCAs) may attend free of charge with advance notice and provision of documentation. Please notify us if you will be attending with a service animal.

✹ In-room speakers and audience members will be provided with microphones and encouraged to use them throughout sessions. Stage lighting and audio-visual elements will be designed to avoid strobing or other effects that can trigger photosensitive epilepsy.

✹ All presenters will enable live closed-captioning. Presenters will be provided guidance on creating online presentations to meet specific color contrast and other accessibility standards, including avoiding the use of flashing images, and asked to explain visual content when appropriate.

✹ A private room for lactation, pumping, and/or chestfeeding will be available for those who require it. We cannot provide on-site childcare, but we will do our best to accommodate working parents or those who need to bring infants.

✹ A quiet room will be available on-site for decompression/sensory breaks for all conference attendees. Attendees will be notified of changes to schedules or activities in advance whenever possible. Arrangements can be made for flexible movement between spaces/alternative transition methods for early/later arrival and departure from session rooms to avoid crowded hallways. Lanyards/badges identifying the wearer as having invisible disabilities can be provided upon request.

✹ We will do our utmost to accommodate any dietary restrictions and/or food allergies. Please use the “Dietary Needs” field on this page to identify your needs.

AFFINITY SPACES

The Changemaker Skills Camp will offer closed-door spaces for affinity groups to meet on-site. Once on site we will identify these spaces for attendees.

If you’re interested in hosting one of these spaces, please email us at events@movementcooperative.org.

WILL CHILDCARE BE PROVIDED?

The camp will not provide childcare, but we are happy to work with local organizations to create a referral list. If you need childcare on-site, please email us at events@movementcooperative.org.

HOW WILL THE CHANGEMAKER SKILLS CAMP INTEGRATE LOCAL ORGANIZERS AND THE ATLANTA COMMUNITY?

We are intentionally integrating local organizers and Atlanta into the core of our conference planning. We are:

Organizing a Land Acknowledgement ceremony to open our conference

Working with the Loudermilk Center to offer a walking tour to attendees showcasing the rich history of organizing in Atlanta

We will strive in every corner to work with local organizations, people, and businesses to ensure our money is being directed back into the local community & economy. The Changemaker Skills Camp will provide a cheat sheet to all attendees interested in venturing out with local businesses, events, and activities!

We are looking for new organizations to connect with in Atlanta; please share any recommendations with us by emailing: events@movementcooperative.org.

HEALTH AND SAFETY STATEMENT

This statement will share information about TMC and State Voices’ (“CSC organizers”) updated COVID-19 & Health and Safety protocols implemented to provide a healthy and safe space during Changemaker Skill Camp (CSC) in Atlanta, Georgia, March 5 - 8, 2024.

With the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, we are building the following policies and practices for in-person events that prioritize keeping us all healthy and safe. We understand the current climate is continuing to evolve, and we are committed to doing our best to stay informed and up-to-date.

We want attendees to have as much information as possible to make an informed decision on in-person versus virtual attendance. We encourage you to utilize current transmission data from the Georgia resource page to make your final decision.

ATTENDEES MUST PROVIDE PROOF OF NEGATIVE COVID STATUS 24-HOURS IN ADVANCE OF ARRIVAL
CSC 2024 requires proof of a negative COVID-19 test before entering the event. This test can be a rapid at-home antigen test.

In-person attendees must use this form to upload proof of a negative test 24-hours in advance of arriving in the conference space.

Please note that CSC organizers will not provide tests prior to the conference. If you cannot provide proof of a negative test 24-hours in advance, you will be required to test at registration before entering the conference space. Testing at registration will slow down the process for yourself and others in addition to potentially exposing others to COVID-19, should you test positive. We strongly encourage you to upload your proof of negative COVID status in advance for these reasons.

CSC also encourages folks to be fully vaccinated and will have on-site masks available for use in crowded indoor spaces. People are best protected when they stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccinations, which includes getting a booster when eligible. If you have received all recommended doses of a COVID-19 vaccine that have been authorized or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or are listed for emergency use by the World Health Organization (WHO), then you are considered to be fully vaccinated and more protected against the viral infection.

SELF-HEALTH ASSESSMENT

All in-person attendees and guests should conduct a health self-assessment before attending CSC. This includes getting tested for COVID-19 24 hours before traveling.

FACE COVERING

While participating at CSC, we strongly encourage masks unless you are presenting or on stage as a plenary speaker. Remember that wearing a mask keeps you safer even when others in the space are not wearing masks.

We will have masks and other PPE available at our Health and Safety Table with our volunteers. Loudermilk Conference Center will have hand sanitizer stations throughout the venue. We ask that you make use of these.

EXPOSURE AND REPORTING

While we will do our best to limit exposure and keep each other safe, individuals may test positive for COVID-19 before, during, and after our conference. If you experience symptoms of COVID-19 please refrain from attending any conference events and use our hybrid option.

Remain in your hotel room and request a COVID-19 test by emailing events@movementcooperative.org. You will need to email your negative test results to rejoin the event. If you test positive, please do not attend any additional events and use the current CDC guidelines to determine how long you should quarantine. CSC organizers reserve the right to work on a case-by-case basis for further accommodations.

You can access local COVID-19 Testing and vaccination sites for further support.

CSC organizers will anonymously inform all attendees that a fellow participant has tested positive for COVID-19. In addition, if you test positive, we ask that you alert personal contacts at the conference and communicate with events@movementcooperative.org. We will share with all participants in a private manner of contact tracing to alert of possible exposure based on CDC guidelines. This is part of what it means to care for one another. It’s our responsibility to each other as a community.

CANCELLATION/REFUND POLICY

CSC reserves the right to cancel or re-schedule any program or event during CSC 2024. This includes our programming, workshops, gatherings, and any/all other additional programs.

If you fail to provide proof of negative COVID status prior to your first session registration, you will not be permitted to attend CSC, and your registration fee will not be refunded. If you test positive for COVID-19 24 hours before your first session registration, we will work with you to access virtual options for attendance, if you feel well enough to participate or refund your ticket cost, if you are unwell.

These recommendations have been developed based on current CDC guidelines at our conference venue and with input from our larger community. CSC organizers reserve the right to adjust the above COVID-19 policy as per updated CDC or institutional guidelines.

Please do not hesitate to contact events@movementcooperative.org with any questions or concerns. We look forward to seeing you in Atlanta!
