When we lit that bonfire in January, we knew we were starting something special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We want to be seen, be heard, and now it\u2019s time to take action!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join a Team!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best way to get involved immediately is to join us on slack<\/a> and decide which team you will join to help us move our campaigns forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Access & Inclusion Team (Political Healers)<\/strong> \u2013 Ensures the work of the team, the team itself, and the larger organization are accessible to all team members, and that team members feel safe, seen and heard. Doll Amaro is the team lead for this and like she said in the call, this is the Empath Team because politics are traumatic. More information is in the slack channel under #politicalhealers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Communications Team<\/strong> \u2013 Responsible for developing and executing campaign communications plans that serve as a critical engine for winning campaigns. This team is responsible for event script writing, event communications, digital and printed flyers, press releases, web design, and all digital and social media communication. Carrie Santoro is the team lead and she also needs a dedicated army of photographers and videographers to make sure that we are seen and heard. More information is in the slack channel under #commsteam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outreach and Recruitment Team<\/strong> \u2013 Responsible for orienting new members, setting membership goals, and turnout to team meetings and other events. This team helps people get involved, stay engaged, and find where they fit best within LV Stands Up. As the team lead Allison Mickel mentioned, this is vital especially as we move toward needing volunteers to run different aspects of our campaigns. More information is in the slack channel under #outreach-recruitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Political Education & Training Team<\/strong> \u2013 Responsible for coordinating team training and political education, as well as turning out team members to trainings within the organization or allied networks. More information is in the slack channel under #politicaltrainingteam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fundraising Team<\/strong> \u2013 Responsible for coordinating the raising and tracking of campaign funds, and for turning out and securing fundraising commitments from team members for organizational fundraising events. It\u2019s just like the team lead, Melissa Bornstein said, the forces we\u2019re up against, the far right, racist folks, are raising money feverishly, and we need to do the same! Wins in our communities do not come without a cost. More information is in the slack channel under #fundraisingteam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
