I attended the America Votes Summit last month, and I was both energized and grounded. It served as a reminder of the power of collaboration in this moment as we approach the midterm elections.  Surrounded by organizers, technologists, and advocates from across the country, the space felt focused on winning strategies and community building.

A highlight for me was reconnecting with partners who are doing impactful, on-the-ground work. It was great to spend time with the team from Pipeline Fund, an Action Builder partner, made up of over 100 coalition partners, identifying, recruiting, and training the next wave of progressive candidates in 17 states.

Our team also had the chance to connect with SB Digital, an Action Network partner, a digital agency working with dozens of candidates on their campaigns – partnering on impactful messaging, effective fundraising, and engagement strategies. Moments like these reinforce how important strong partnerships are not just in name, but in practice. Whether it’s through shared tools, aligned strategy, or simply being in the same room exchanging ideas, this work accomplishes more when we do it together.

I left the summit feeling inspired, more connected, and ready to keep building alongside partners who are equally committed to making change happen.

If you were at America Votes and we didn’t get a chance to connect, feel free to submit this form, and I’ll keep checking it.
