Sam Liebert uses his public policy experience to advocate for ballot access and support for local elections officials. He works to protect democracy by fighting to remove discriminatory barriers to the right to vote.
COMMUNITY IMPACT PANEL
Sharlen Moore empowers young people, offering space and tools so they can lead the change they want in their lives. When seen, heard and supported, teens become key voices – and eventual voters – in their community.
Deisy España understands the power of representation, so she advocates for all eligible voters to use that right to improve daily life for all constituents, to speak for those whose voices are often ignored.
LaToya White focuses on strengthening communities by engaging with local partners to meet needs, from food security to youth programs, while teaching advocacy as a means of protecting democracy.
David Carlson sees the positive change in lives when people working toward recovery get relatable and meaningful guidance and support. Restoring hope leads to healthier outcomes and community engagement.
DEMOCRACY PANEL
Anita Johnson doesn’t just walk the walk. This longtime voting rights advocate is in a marathon to elevate constituents’ concerns by emphasizing the power each voter has to shape daily life and democracy itself.
Nick Ramos lives and breathes civic engagement. Using his legal and advocacy experience, he helps cut through the confusion of Wisconsin’s strict voter ID law to ensure voters can cast their ballots.
Tiffany Koehler shines light on those in greatest need, summoning her military, political and personal challenges to guide her dedication to improving all lives as a foundational aspect of our democracy.
