We hope to see teach-ins at libraries, living rooms, campuses, and community centers across the country.<\/p>\n<p>Can you host a teach-in in San Diego?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/civic.moveon.org\/event\/events\/create.html?id=32437-14611215-NLbF%3Dfx&#038;action_id=259\">Yes, I can host<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Hosting a teach-in is easy. You don&#8217;t need to know a lot about the economy. We provide the materials and the information. All you need is a computer and a space to bring people together.<\/p>\n<p>With leading progressive economists, Rebuild The Dream Innovation Fund created a simple slide presentation and a discussion guide that anyone can use. It tells the story of how the 1% changed the rules, crashed the economy and what we can do to take the country back. It gives everyone a chance to share their own experiences, talk about problems and solutions together, and learn from one other.<\/p>\n<p>Can you volunteer?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/civic.moveon.org\/event\/events\/create.html?id=32437-14611215-NLbF%3Dfx&#038;action_id=259\">Yes, I can lead a teach-in on Nov. 9<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Once you sign up to host, we&#8217;ll share the complete set of materials with you, including a PowerPoint file and a discussion guide. It&#8217;s ready to go out out of the box.<\/p>\n<p>And it&#8217;s customizable\u2014you can add your own ideas and make it your own. Do you know things about the local economy, or solutions in your area?
