<br />
Patrick “PC” Sweeney will walk participants through some of the most commonly used political campaign and community organizing tactics that some of the largest and most successful Political Action Committees and Causes use to influence politicians and win elections. These tactics include creating and identifying strong audiences, understanding ladders of engagement, power mapping, and using social media to engage with public.</font></span></p>
