Voices of Fisher core team members attended the 'Big Organising for Independent Campaigns' event in Brisbane recently, learning from the best.
Zack Exley has been behind some of the biggest people-powered campaigns in U.S. history, including Obama's Presidential campaign in 2008 and Bernie Sanders' 2016 primary and is coauthor of the book "Rules for Revolutionaries: How Big Organising Can Change Everything".
Byron Fay is a climate strategist, former Paris Agreement negotiator and former adviser to Independent Senator Tim Storer. Byron also worked for a Biden-aligned Political Action Committee during the 2020 US presidential election, and is a proud descendant of the Dharug Nation.
Lots of insights for the Voices of Fisher team in the ramping up to the candidate phase. Zach spoke of the importance of engaged community volunteers.
