5 Questions for Jason

Director of Technology
Joined November 2012

Question 1: What’s your Action Network origin story?

I was a digital practitioner for a long time – building and running email lists, winning campaigns using digital tools, and the like. I had a lot of opinions on the current tools on the market. I had been talking with Brian Young for a few months about the state of digital tools in the progressive movement, so when he mentioned an opportunity to help fix some of the issues I was having in my day to day work, I jumped at the chance. I onboarded a couple weeks before our first big public campaign, the Black Friday strikes against Walmart in 2012. It was a crazy time, whipping the tools into shape for our big launch day, but it was successful, and we’ve ran with it from there!

Question 2: What is your favorite thing about working at Action Network?

I love the flexibility we have in our work, and the impact we have with our tools. I’m able to maintain work-life balance, get great work done, work with an amazing team, and help progressives around the world. It’s a great situation.

Question 3: How would you describe what you do to your friends and family?

Do you get emails or mobile messages from President Biden? That’s me!

Question 4: What sea creature does the original Action Network logo look most like?

We always talked about it as an octopus.

Question 5: In which order did you see Barbie and Oppenheimer?

Barbie, no Oppenheimer yet!
