Never been campaigning before and want to get a taste of what it's all about? Or are you a veteran campaigner who wants to read about in-depth campaigning strategy as well as offer tips for good resources to share with fellow Young Fabians? Make sure to check out this resource page. We're looking to crowdsource as many useful resources related to campaigning right here to help us in our efforts to build a culture of campaigning across our membership and beyond in the lead up to the local and European Parliament elections in May 2014, and in the lead up to the General Election in 2015.
