Summary:

Join us as we explore one of the most exciting new developments in organizing and its impact on our latest election!

Description:

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
