Hello again John,
I hope your spring season is going well. I’m reaching out to introduce you to our Progressive Governance Academy champion for this year’s annual campaign: Raaheela Ahmed (she/her)! Elected officials are a crucial part of re:power’s theory of change. We believe that every progressive who takes office should have access to the skills and support necessary to represent their communities well. That’s why we’re raising $100,000 to ensure that champions like Raaheela have what it takes to co-govern effectively. John, are you on our team?

“Being a trainer with the Progressive Governance Academy has reinvigorated my faith in the future of public leadership. [...] In facilitating dialogue with empathetic elected leaders, who are focused on hearing and advancing community voices, it's clear to me that we have true avenues for shifting the paradigm of politics to one that is reflective, responsive and representative.” |
