Welcome to another episode of The Round Table!
This week, Emmanuel, Hannah, and Heba were excited to speak with Christine Woods, Co-Director of the Declaration for American Democracy. Christine brings a wealth of experience in issue-based advocacy and electoral campaigns, and we’re thrilled to dive into her impactful work and vision for democracy reform.
In this episode, Christine shares her journey from grassroots organizer to a leading figure in democracy advocacy. As Co-Director of the Declaration for American Democracy, Christine plays a pivotal role in driving sweeping reforms to strengthen and protect our democratic processes. Prior to this role, she was the Field Director for the coalition, where she led innovative grassroots efforts to mobilize communities and advance democratic values.
Christine’s career began with a focus on climate advocacy, where she led the Climate Reality Project’s 100% Renewable campaigns on college campuses. Her early work laid the foundation for her commitment to empowering everyday people to take meaningful action. We’ll hear about her transition from environmental advocacy to electoral campaigns, including her role as Field Director for a competitive Congressional campaign and her contributions during the 2016 electoral cycle.
Christine also discusses her impactful work with Public Citizen’s Democracy Is For People Campaign, where she collaborated with coalitions in New York State to expand voting rights and ensure fair elections. Her insights into these campaigns provide a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities in the fight for democratic reform.
Join us for an inspiring conversation about the importance of grassroots organizing, the challenges of electoral reform, and the ongoing efforts to secure a fair and representative democracy. Christine Woods’ dedication and passion for democratic integrity shine through in this engaging discussion.
