Hi John,
Deciding to run for elected office is no easy task, especially when you're a member of the historically marginalized disabled and neurodivergent communities.
That's why we created Claim Your Seat — so folks can learn from their peers about how to win in a system that wasn't built for you.
If you're a young progressive and member of the disabled or neurodivergent community, we want you to claim your seat.
Join Run for Something, our alums, and the National Council on Independent Living TONIGHT at 8 pm ET to discuss the realities of campaigning and how we can support your campaign.
We'll be joined by Run for Something alums:
- Colorado State Representative David Ortiz
- Hillsborough County Board Commissioner Matt Hughes
- Former Candidate for Jefferson City Board of Education Dr. Ian Shadrick
- Former Candidate for Olympia City Council Sarah DeStasio
Come learn about their experiences and ask any questions you may have about life as a candidate.
After the call, we will send links to online resources to help your plans.
RFS will provide ASL interpretation and automated closed captioning via Zoom. If you have additional accessibility requests, please send an email to
[email protected], and we will do our best to accommodate.
You can't win if you don't claim your seat. So RSVP right now, and let's secure long-term political power for the neurodivergent and disabled communities together.
