Join DL21C'ers on Saturday, November 14 for an important training on national security and military affairs, with national leaders from the Truman Project (www.trumanproject.org).
DL21C recognizes that "national security" is no longer just a national issue. State and local leaders are now asked to address many issues in a "security" context, from immigration to energy security, the readiness of police and firemen to National Guard readiness; as well as critical infrastructures and homeland security funding.
Truman National Security Bootcamps are one-day trainings that provide progressive leaders with the foundations of national security understanding, and training in talking about tough issues.
On November 14, the basic bootcamp will have five segments:
*The Progressive National Security Story: Our History and Values
*National Security Issues in Your Locality
*Military 101 with Recent Veterans: Understanding the U.S. Armed Forces, Their Culture, and How to Connect With Our Troops
*How Progressives Undermine Our Messages, and How to Communicate Better: Talking with the American People About Security and Progressive Values
*Scenario Exercises: Talking about Security at a Town Hall and on Fox News
