Join us as we explore one of the most exciting new developments in organizing and its impact on our latest election!
While the 2008 presidential election saw an unprecedented integration of community organizing and get-out-the-vote efforts, long-term movement building goals were never quite met. As a result, during this election cycle, organizers have been deliberate in working to win key campaigns and ballot initiatives but also to use November 6th as one effort in building a stronger, national movement—one that is more grassroots than any campaign could dream to be.
Speakers:
- María Blanco, Vice President, Civic Engagement, California Community Foundation
- Donita Judge, Project Director, Redistricting, Advancement Project
- Gihan Perera, Executive Director, Florida New Majority
- Anthony Thigpenn, Chairperson, California Calls
