Stories from the Field

We are fortunate to work with amazing individuals and organizations each year, providing training and capacity building for progressive campaigns and movements.

We wanted to share with you two profiles of our recent alumni and the work they are doing to build progressive power for the long term in their organizations and communities.  

Jeffrey Bland is an organizer and community leader in Missouri, who took a break from his work as an attorney to run a contested school referendum campaign where children's access to good education hung in the balance.  Read about his strategy to win and how he won big against the odds.

New Jersey Working Families, led by Executive Director Margarita Hernandez, is a coalition of organizations  that work together for good schools, affordable health care, and an accountable government that works for everyone. These organizations realized that they could organize and lobby elected officials all they wanted, but at the end of the day, they needed to change the choices that voters were being presented with.  Read more about their plan for long-term power for New Jersey's working families.
