Coalition Building and Mobilization

• Mobilized thousands of voters through direct outreach and canvassing efforts.
• Hosted town halls and educational events to inform voters about extremist policies threatening equality.
• Provided voter resources and tools to simplify registration and access to polls.

The Fight for Judicial Integrity: Judge Allison Riggs
