POW! offers comprehensive campaign training. A woman only needs to bring the willingness to learn new skills and information and, perhaps, change her perception of who she is and what she can do.

“The way I see it, we have two choices. We can hide in our beds with the covers over our heads. Or, we can take power into our own hands. So. Let’s push away those covers, stop listening to the doubters (even when you are one of the doubters) and ignore anyone who tells you that you can’t do it. Because I’m here to tell you that you can.”
