**Apologies for the confusion - to confirm, this event is on Monday 11th May, not Friday 24th April**
ORG London is one of the Open Rights Group's local campaign groups across the UK. So far we've organised talks with interesting speakers, days of action and campaign training sessions.
Do you want to shape the future of ORG London? At our election campaign training session on Tuesday 14th May we met so many enthusiastic supporters with great ideas and realised how many people there were who could take a leading role in the group.
After the general election, we will all have a new government, parliament and probably even MP. We need supporters to take on roles of leadership in making sure they support digital rights.
What will we be doing? ORG's London staff, who run ORG London, will be running an interactive feedback, brain storming and planning session to shape the future of the group.
We'll divide into groups (with refreshments), each with one of ORG's core staff for information and guidance, to plan strategies to target MPs and plan other events ORG London could organise.
It will be a great opportunity to meet others who want to take a leading role in affecting both local and national change.
Topics will include:
- How can we best react to the election results to protect digital rights?
- How do we talk to our local MPs about surveillance?
- How can ORG London be more inclusive and diverse?
Remember that you don't need to have any experience of campaigning to attend! Every seasoned campaigner was once just someone who cared about an issue, don't be put off by thinking you don't have the skills.
See you there!
