Trainings

Please find below a list of many of the trainings that the Progressive Technology Project has conducted over the years. Each training contains links to materials used in the trainings.

PTP held a two-day PowerBase & Organizing training in Oakland, CA November 14-15. Oakland Rising hosted the training when we had technical difficulties at the venue we had booked, and the training would have flopped without OR. PTP thanks Oakland Rising for making their office available in a pinch!
