On Trump’s first inauguration day, Run for Something launched to build a bench of young, diverse progressive leaders. Now, eight years later, we've seen what a Trump administration can do—but we’ve also seen what local leaders can do to fight back. Whether it is fighting for affordable housing, protecting abortion access, or standing up for our schools, we have the power to protect our communities from MAGA harm while building progressive infrastructure from the ground up. Join our post-inauguration webinar with special guest, Representative Maxwell Frost, to learn how you can prepare to run for office and how the RFS community will be here to help you every step of the way. Topics we’ll cover: - Deciding whether you want to run for office, what you want to run for, and when - Accessing the many RFS and partner online resources to build your skills as a candidate and run a winning campaign - Joining the RFS community of peers and mentors and planning your next steps You’ll leave the call with clear action steps no matter where you are in your candidate journey. Accessibility: RFS provides automated closed captioning via Zoom for Candidate Intro Call Webinars. Note: RFS does not support candidates running for statewide (like Governor) or federal (US House or Senate, or President) candidates or candidates over 40 years old.
