Hi John,

At Camp re:power, you’ll learn from organizers who’ve been in the trenches, led campaigns, and built movements—and now, they’re here to pour into you. But this isn’t just about training; it’s about building a community that fortifies us for the work ahead. In a world that asks so much of us, Camp re:power is a space to learn, heal, and connect with people who share your commitment to justice. If you’re looking to grow your skills and be in a community that truly sees and supports you, we’d love to have you join us.

This week, we’re introducing you to some of the powerhouse trainers you’ll be working with at Camp re:power, including:

Aimée Castenell (she/her) is a Senior Digital Strategist for the Working Families Party with over 20 years of experience in digital strategy and change communications. She has held leadership roles at organizations like ColorOfChange.org, the Center for Popular Democracy, and the U.S. Human Rights Network, and co-created WeBuiltThis.org to help Black millennials use voting to combat state violence. Originally from New Orleans and based in Atlanta, she holds an M.A. in Activism and Social Change from the University of Leeds and believes that a good story, well told, can change lives.

Oluwakemi “Kemi” Oso (she/her) is a data engineer and organizer whose “Left Brain, Right Soul” philosophy bridges tech and movement work. She has trained thousands of organizers through re:power, founded the Data x Tech Movement Fellowship, and now serves as Deputy Director of the Cooperative Impact Lab, where she leads experiments on cutting-edge technology, including generative AI. When offline, she embraces her Capricorn spirit by adventuring from ocean depths to mountain peaks in her camper van, Margot.

Amber Sims (she/her) is a founding member of The Imagining Freedom Institute and CEO of Young Leaders Strong City, the longest-running racial equity platform in Dallas-Fort Worth. Her work focuses on historical analysis, equity frameworks, and preserving Dallas’s Black history through storytelling, policy, and intergenerational collaboration. An award-winning racial equity leader, she authored Dallas Forgot, chronicling Black schools and educators, and is a fellow with New Schools Venture Fund and Independent Sector.

Delishia Danielle Porterfield (she/her) is a mother, educator, and social justice advocate serving her second term as Chair of the Budget and Finance Committee for the Metropolitan Nashville Council, overseeing a $3.28 billion budget. A lifelong Tennessean, she made history as the first District Councilmember elected At-Large after just one term and has also chaired the Education Committee and Minority Caucus. She trains progressive leaders with the Progressive Governance Academy and co-chairs the Black Caucus with Local Progress while raising her daughter in Nashville.

Why does this matter? Because training isn’t just about learning skills—it’s about connecting with people who inspire you to step into your power. At Camp re:power, these trainers will guide, challenge, and uplift you to ensure you leave stronger, more prepared, and more grounded in your purpose.

We can’t wait to see you there and introduce you to this amazing team.
