MoveOn is a national organization that has grown in the past 20 years
to have a massive political impact and to amplify the voices of a
nationwide network of activists and concerned citizens. Yet, the
organization continues to evolve and innovate, especially in the Trump
era. How do you build an inspiring, effective political organization?
How do you empower and organize local activists into an effective
national network?From protecting reproductive rights with the ACLU to
holding the Trump Administration accountable with MoveOn, Jean-Pierre
is experienced in leading grassroots campaigns in a variety of
contexts and will discuss the tactics used to successfully organize a
(the) resistance.
