Having access to website building and online engagement tools, voter file and grassroots mobilization tools, and blast email, text, and social media communications all in one place means NationBuilder presents organizations with endless possibilities to build communities better than ever before.

During the NationBuilder101 we’ll cover some of the core features and functions with NationBuilder and basic organizing tactics and best practices we’ve seen movements around the world using NationBuilder, including:

• What is NationBuilder- the basics
• Benefits of having all of your tools under one roof- database, website, CRM, and communications tools

• Value of having your website on NationBuilder- quick and easy creation of action pages (petitions, volunteer forms, events, donations, memberships)
• Managing your volunteers, staff, and chapters

This will be an opportunity to learn about NationBuilder and how it can help your cause, and also ask relevant questions specific to your needs and challenges, and how they can be addressed using NationBuilder's tools.
