1. Who inspires you?Field organizers. If you work a field organizing job, you are on the front lines of your movement. You’re the one talking to voters, building the bench, and moving people towards change. Anyone who has ever been in a field organizer role has my utmost respect. It’s inspiring to see people jump into that role, take it head on, and work towards progress. 2. What’s the last book you read?Right now I’m reading a book called The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin. It’s a sprawling family drama that I picked up at an airport bookstore. My degree is in English and Creative Writing, so I tend to have at least three or four different books on my nightstand that I’m working through at a time. I’ve also got Nothing is Okay by Rachel Wiley, a collection of poems that I’m reading as well. 3. What’s the coolest thing you’re working on right now?Project Game Changer! The Federation is partnering with 6 states right now to help build integrated voter engagement programs that bring together their entire organization. Basically, I get to work with really smart organizers to help our members do better work advocating for LGBTQ people. 4. What’s the best concert you ever attended?100%, Adele, her 21 tour at the Fox Theatre in Detroit. Nothing else compares. 5. What drew you to the Equality Federation?I really believe in the power of local communities to organize and defend themselves. Our members are the entry point for so many people in the movement. We are truly creating the pipeline of LGBTQ leaders across the country. I love being part of that work and helping our members develop awesome organizing plans.6. Last question, how can people get in touch with you? And what should they contact you about?Email for quick things, Calendly if you need to chat! Calendly is a website that’s linked in with my Google Calendar, and you can schedule a meeting with me without having to call me first. Folks should contact me about anything to do with advocacy - legislative work, lobbying, elections, municipal or administrative work, volunteers, organizing, or even VAN questions!
