WHAT THEY SAY

  • Kimberly Ellis' skill, heart, and power as a leader and speaker was on full display when she moderated the nation's first national conference on women of color in politics -- She the People. She deeply connected to audience in the room and the hundreds of thousands online, lifted the vision and spirits of the women who had gathered, and connected them to one another and to a common vision of a politics and community that is just now coming into view. She is a master storyteller and a cheerleader for all that is good and right in the world.

UNBOUGHT – UNBOSSED

There’s a preexisting belief that California is the center of innovation; a brand identity that we happily embrace. If California is where ideas and cutting-edge technology are born, then we believe the same is true for political innovation.

 

Introducing Unbought – Unbossed, a 3-year initiative designed to disrupt the disaffected political status quo by meeting people where they’re at to educate, motivate and inspire them to action to effect change at the ballot box.

 

An incubator for the next generation of political disruptors, at its core, UnB2 is about civic education, civic engagement and civic empowerment. It’s about recognizing that we’re in a moment of movement politics and leaning into the civics renewal that’s taking place across the country. It’s about transforming everyday people into empowered activists.
