Hi team,
My name is Charles Taylor, and I’ve recently joined the Groundwork Project Team as the Southern Organizing Advisor. I’ve worked in political organizing for a decade — I got my start working on the Mississippi Conference NAACP "This Is My Vote" campaign which registered 29,000+ African Americans to vote in Mississippi. It’s an honor to continue this work with all of you.
I hopped over to Alabama this week to travel with Joe around the state and let me just say — it’s been a whirlwind.
While in Alabama, we traveled to Huntsville, Brookwood, Birmingham, and Montgomery. We met with…
- United Women of Color
- Jobs to Move America
- Project Say Something
- Alabama Forward
- Alabama Alliance
- Alabama Justice Initiative
- Greater Birmingham Ministries
- H.I.V.E
- And more!
I was really inspired by the network of grassroots organizers that Groundwork Project has begun to cultivate in Alabama. The people we met blew me away with the commitment, creativity & resourcefulness they bring to this work. Help us grow our investments in these local organizers this year by giving to our partner program here.
It’s been an eventful first trip with Joe …and just wait til we get him to Mississippi in a few months!
Sincerely,
Charles
