PPT’s Spring Training for organizers and activists will build new skills & grow our organizer family. Share your ideas for workshops and training topics + reserve your spot at the May 4th training by RSVP’ing today!
Its springtime! And the perfect time to kick our transit just organizing up a notch by honing our existing skills, introducing new ones, and growing the network of leaders doing this work. PPT is hosting a day-long training on May 4th to do just that. AND WE WANT YOU INVOLVED!
Our 2024 PPT Organizer/Activist Spring Training will hold workshops, panels, speakers, discussions and fun social time to grow our network’s skills and build the intersectional movement for justice that we’re involved in. So far, proposed topics include:
- Affordable housing and transit, what’s the connection and opportunity?
- Disability Justice and making public transit actually accessible
- Public Speaking: how to talk about transit in a way that inspires
- Data for transit justice: how research can grow our campaigns
- And more!

We will gather at Pittsburgh Friends Meeting House for the day-long training on Saturday, May 4th from 9am-3pm. To wrap up, we will spend some social time together getting to know each other because relationships are the core of movement work and we value our time spent with you.
