[[link removed]] AUG 2022 [[link removed]]
Hello John,
This month our leader, Karundi Williams, is taking a much needed pause to replenish her spirit and energy. In this work, August is often the month of anticipation as we prepare for the busiest season of our work. At re:power we’re gearing up to support organizations through GOTV season with new webinars and resources; train new elected officials through the Progressive Governance Academy in November and December of this year; and to provide healing spaces for folks as we all make our way through yet another election season. Keep an eye out for all of these exciting events in the coming weeks!
So, just like Karundi, we hope all of you are taking a minute to catch your breath this month. Because September is right around the corner and we’ve got work to do!
In partnership & solidarity,
Team re:power

on the re:cord
“As a Latina who lives in a very conservative area, being an organizer is tough. In my current position, I also exist in a very white space and I’ve been hit hard with imposter syndrome. Being involved with the Women of Color Leadership cohort has been so impactful and interesting. I’ve learned so much with my cohort. My biggest takeaway—this imposter syndrome needs to go!” [[link removed]]
