Dear {{First Name}},
We are invting you and your comrades to apply to the Civic Culture Action Lab, a new initiative hosted by Beautiful Trouble, 22CI, and our partners. The lab is a five-month experimental program for experienced and rising organizers, trainers, facilitators, and artists who want to sharpen their skills in high-stakes situations, coordinate with fellow changemakers across the country, and contribute to the connective tissue of our broader movement for democracy throughout and after the 2026 midterm election season.
Applications are open until Wednesday, August 26 at 11:59 pm ET. The lab will begin the week of September 14. Click here to learn more about the lab, and here to apply.
The coordination team will host two information sessions on the following dates for interested applicants. Register to attend.
Thursday, August 20 from 2:30 - 3:30 pm ET // 11:30 am - 12:30 pm PST
Monday, August 24 from 2:30 - 3:30 pm ET // 11:30 am - 12:30 pm PST
If you have any specific questions, or would like to learn more about applying or partnering with the lab, please reach out to Taylor Mason.
