This February, we are celebrating leadership across our movement. We’re seeing mounting interest in running for local office and grassroots organizing in both states, and we are excited to keep growing the work of our Grassroots Leadership Academy to support, educate, and motivate movement leaders.
Within our staff, we are delighted to introduce you to our new State Directors, Alison Nihart in Vermont and Ed Taylor in New Hampshire! Both have held various leadership roles at Rights & Democracy, from helping launch campaigns and steering our electoral organizing to serving on our Board of Directors and state leadership committees. They are key voices in our movement, and we’re thrilled to be starting the year with them in these roles.
If you’ve thought about expanding your advocacy and learning more about how you can join our growing movement, consider becoming a member if you haven’t already. Our members are a key element of our electoral process through endorsements and grassroots lobbying, and we need your voice at the table. We have our first member endorsement vote of the year coming up for municipal races, so now’s the time to join!
Stay tuned for some big announcements later this month!
In solidarity,
Ali Brokenshire
Leadership Development Manager
