SUMMARY:Elevate 2021 - Introduction to Campaigns\, Self and Opposition Research for Candidates
DESCRIPTION:Archive: \n\n\n\n\nWebinar\n\n\n\nPresentation (PDF)\n\n\n\nPresentation (plain text)\n\n\n\nPresentation (audio)\n\n\n\n\nTrainer: Allen Nesbitt\, Nesbitt Research\, Founder and CEO\, Nesbitt and Parrinello\, Inc. \n\n\n\nGuest Speaker: Rebecca Lamorte\, Former Candidate for New York City Council District 5 \n\n\n\nWhat do you need to know when thinking about running for office? During our first webinar\, we’ll give you a brief checklist of things you need to consider before starting a campaign. Then\, we’ll hear from Allen Nesbitt of Nesbitt Research about self and opposition research. What is opposition research? Who should undertake it? How is it used? Our guest speaker will be Rebecca Lamorte about her experience running for New York City Council \n\n\n\nAbout Allen Nesbitt \n\n\n\nAllen Nesbitt is the founder and CEO of Nesbitt & Parrinello\, Inc. Allen advises labor campaigns\, climate causes\, their allies\, and senior government officials globally on risks in volatile public campaign environments. From the fight for better health care that is more affordable to the fight to save our planet\, Allen’s teams have won some of the most meaningful campaigns of our day. Allen has advised the only Indian American in the 113th Congress; the first openly gay U.S. Representative from New York; the first openly gay mayor of Lexington\, Kentucky; the first Black U.S. Representative from Nevada; and the first Black U.S. Senate nominee in Florida history. \n\n\n\nAbout Rebecca Lamorte \n\n\n\nGrowing up in a politically active family on Long Island\, Rebecca learned early on how deliberate\, bold action can change people’s lives for the better. After a subway accident left her partially disabled\, she saw an intimate portrait of how New York can work better for all communities\, and was inspired to grow her involvement in efforts to make New York City a place where everyone can thrive.Rebecca cut her teeth on progressive politics at Fordham University and\, in 2011\, began working on labor and workforce issues in New York. She has worked for some of New York’s most prominent labor unions\, leading the charge on legislative and issue-based campaigns about land use\, housing\, wages\, and workforce safety and training. On campaigns like the Fight For $15 and the legislative push for the Construction Safety Act\, for example\, Rebecca observed how progressive policies can lead to tangible benefits for individuals and families in New York City.   \n\n\n\nIn 2013 Rebecca was pushed on the New York City subway\, resulting in lifelong mobility impairment and a degenerative pain syndrome in her left leg. The accident changed Rebecca’s life and made her want to fight not just for herself\, but all disabled and vulnerable New Yorkers ignored and purposefully left out of planning and policy conversations. In 2021\, Rebecca ran for New York City Council in Manhattan’s on a platform rooted in disability\, economic\, housing\, and racial justice. She placed third in a competitive 7-person primary election and through her campaign elevated disability justice to become a citywide issue for all Mayoral and Council candidates.  \n\n\n\nRebecca lives on the Upper East Side in Manhattan with her dachshund\, Forrest. She works for the Mason Tenders District Council of Greater New York as a lobbyist representing the needs of unionized construction and other workers before New York City\, New York State\, and the federal government.  \n\n\n\n\nRebecca Lamorte\, a white woman with curly brown hair\, smiles with her arms crossed over her chest as she stands in front of the Queensboro Bridge on a sunny day. Rebecca is wearing a gray dress\, silver bracelet\, and ring.\n\n\n\nAllen Nesbitt\, a Black man with short black hair and a beard wearing a light blue shirt\, stands in front of a brick wall.\n\n\n\n\nSponsored by Run for Something Action Fund and ActBlue

SUMMARY:Elevate 2021 - Your Story. Your Campaign. Your Brand Online.
DESCRIPTION:Archive: \n\n\n\n\nWebinar\n\n\n\nPresentation (PDF)\n\n\n\nPresentation (plain text)\n\n\n\nPresentation (audio)\n\n\n\n\nTrainer: Atima Omara\, Founder and President\, Omara Strategy Group \n\n\n\nGuest Speaker: Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley [Massachusetts District 7] \n\n\n\nIf you are thinking of running for office having a “why” is critical. It’s the foundation to understanding the parts of your story that will resonate with voters and create your campaign message that will be used throughout the campaign. Learn how to build this foundation well from the beginning. Our guest speaker for this session will be Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley\, who has been a powerful advocate for the disability community in Congress. \n\n\n\nAbout Atima Omara \n\n\n\nAtima Omara is a nationally recognized award-winning political strategist\, leader\, advocate\, and speaker who has focused her almost 20 year career on engaging youth\, women\, and people of color at the intersection of politics and advocacy in the progressive movement. As President of Omara Strategy Group\, LLC\, Atima provides training\, coaching\, and strategic political services to political candidates and organizations that center women\, people of color\, and other underrepresented communities in issue advocacy and campaigns. Over a decade\, she has worked as campaign manager\, field director\, and other roles on more than a dozen federal\, state\, & local political campaigns in many red and battleground states across the country. She has also successfully led organizing efforts for voter registration\, ballot initiatives\, and GOTV operations. In addition to serving as a trainer in 2019 for NCIL’s Elevate Campaign training\, she has trained hundreds of candidates and campaign staff for a number of organizations including: Emerge America\, Higher Heights for America\, Vote Run Lead\, New American Leaders\, and Running Start. She has a BA from the University of Virginia and an MPA from George Mason University. \n\n\n\nAbout Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley \n\n\n\nAyanna Pressley is an advocate\, a policy-maker\, an activist\, and a survivor. On November 6\, 2018\, Ayanna was elected to represent Massachusetts’ 7th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives\, making her the first woman of color to be elected to Congress from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Ayanna believes that the people closest to the pain should be closest to the power\, and that a diversity of voices in the political process is essential to crafting more effective public policy. \n\n\n\nBorn in Cincinnati and raised in Chicago\, Ayanna is the only child of a single mother and a father who was in and out of the criminal legal system. Ayanna’s mother\, Sandra Pressley\, was a tenants’ rights organizer who instilled in her the value of civic engagement. Thanks in large part to her mother’s dedication to activism\, Ayanna has always been acutely aware of the role that government can play in lifting up families and communities. \n\n\n\nIn Congress\, Ayanna has been dedicated to the kind of bold\, activist leadership she emphasized throughout her history-making campaign. She has introduced legislation to support survivors of sexual assault and harassment\, to fundamentally reimagine our criminal legal system\, and to guarantee a good job for every person who wants one\, among much else. And she has been a vocal advocate on behalf of our immigrant communities\, led the creation of the Future of Transportation caucus\, fought to protect critical reproductive rights\, and worked closely alongside the disability community. \n\n\n\n\nRebecca Lamorte\, a white woman with curly brown hair\, smiles with her arms crossed over her chest as she stands in front of the Queensboro Bridge on a sunny day.
