National Messaging & Policy Taskforce

In partnership with the founding organization, JobsFirst.org, RISE District helps manage and support the National Messaging & Policy Task Force. Our Task Force coordinates with grassroots activists and Democratic Party officials in order to coalesce around big, bold, and inspirational ideas and messages for the 2018 Midterm elections and beyond. Sign up to put your ideas to practice - let's amplify the voice of grassroots groups. It's easy, just send an email to info@grassrootsideas.org,

One of the Task Force's main objectives is to gather policy ideas from the grassroots, from people like me and you, to let politicians, political organizing groups, and candidates know that we have a voice- that we have ideas- that we want to be heard. We work to support the development of one to two page Policy Action Memos on ideas that matter to you and your community to get them in the hands of policy makers. We are the change we wish to see in the world and our voice matters. To see the most current version of the Policy Action Agenda, click here.

GOTV and Campaigns

Through coalition-based efforts, the RISE District team is part of and supports the efforts of the Grassroots Coordinating Committee (GCC). RISE District and the GCC coordinate among its members to streamline the sharing of information about events, tools, resources, messaging, and policy ideas.

Specifically, we provide GOTV support to our coalition and partner groups including but not limited to phone banking, text banking, canvassing training, event logistical support, and the new GCC Campaign Ambassador Program. To learn more, visit the website or send an email to campaign@risedistrict.org. Want to get involved- join us!

Members of the RISE District team also work closely with our membership to develop projects and calls-to-action (CTAs) based on current events, legislative priorities, and areas of needed support in the movement. We are continuously looking for creative researches and trainers to develop these items on short notice with a quick turnaround time. If this sounds like something you'd like to take on- we need you!

Organizational Support

As we've mentioned, we are all about the partnerships! Through collaborative efforts with our friends at ActLocal and Action Together Network, we strive to provide resources and training to help your group succeed. Our services include but are not limited to strategic planning, group mergers, volunteer engagement, organization charts, procedure development, and more.

RISE District works with ActLocal to compile resources in categories ranging from election statistics to how to shift public opinion. For a full list of resources, visit the website.
