Date: 2021-11-08

Join MVP as we launch our 2022 campaign to Defy the Odds, Win the Midterms, and Supercharge the Movement. MVP ED Billy Wimsatt is joined by the following brilliant leaders from our local partners:

Tram Nguyen, Co-Executive Director of New Virginia Majority, discussed what was learned from this year’s election and the Virginia strategy going into 2022.

Khari Mosley, Director of 1Hood Power in Pittsburgh, talked about their success in electing the first Black mayor of Pittsburgh, a 66% white city — one of several local victories there that are the culmination of 15 years of local power-building.

Shana Gallagher, Executive Director of Un-PAC, outlined the youth organizing movement being built in West Virginia and their work to recruit traditionally conservative voters and influence Joe Manchin.

Val Benavidez, Executive Director of the Texas Freedom Network, talked about their work fighting an increasingly anxious and combative Texas GOP that has been attempting to pass restrictive legislation in a bid to retain control in the face of growing long-term progressive power in Texas.

Brooke Adams, Movement Politics Director at People’s Action, dove deep into an analysis of the success of their deep canvassing persuasion program (which one study showed to be 102x more effective than the average Presidential persuasion program) — and their plans to scale the program in 2022.
