Another Round of 2014 FEDTalks Now Available!

September 15, 2014

At this year’s Summer Meeting, we invited state leaders to take five minutes to share a big idea, talk through an innovative strategy, or offer up an exciting concept in a FEDtalk.

These energetic and captivating presentations about the most innovative parts of our members’ work stood out, once again, as a major highlight of Summer Meeting. So we wanted to share them with everyone, not just the folks who joined us at this year’s meeting.

Here's a new batch of the amazing FEDtalks — watch them now! These talks and more are also available on our YouTube Channel!

First, Daniel Williams, Field Organizer/Legislative Specialist at Equality Texas, talks about being a transgender ally.

Second, Nadine Smith, Executive Director at Equality Florida, shares how her organization is gathering support from businesses in the state of Florida.

Third, John Smallwood, Advocacy & Organizing Director at Fair Wisconsin, talks about using the VAN (Voter Activation Network).
