Description

Course Description:


Building partnerships is a core part to accomplishing goals. In this one-hour presentation, you'll learn the foundations of how to build a coalition to create change, and how to ensure your coalitions are uplifting principles of justice and equity. The presentation will leave time for your questions at the end.   

During this session, you will learn:
  • What a coalition is, and what is not
  • Why you should (or should not) start or join a coalition → benefits and liabilities
  • Who to invite and why 
  • Justice + Equity check: Who is and is not at the table?
  • Roles + levels of participation 
  • Expectations + accountability

Ash is ACE’s Director of Distributed Organizing based in Ohlone Territory (Oakland, CA). Ash joins ACE to build its distributed organizing network, bringing strategic direction + implementation to help its success. Ash comes to ACE  by way of the Center for Biological Diversity, where she helped build its distributed organizing network, Mobilize for the Wild. 

In her 15+ years of campaigning, she’s organized with rural agricultural and Indigenous communities to fight oil extraction in North Dakota, built partnerships with low-income communities in LA to push for accessible solar, passed 6 county-wide fracking bans in California, and facilitated nationwide campus organizing on Keystone XL. Some of Ash’s fondest action moments include helping to bring 13,000 people to the White House against the Keystone XL pipeline, driving a solar-powered truck the length of the eastern seaboard, bird-dogging former American Petroleum Institute CEO Jack Gerrard, and hanging a banner off Kimberly-Clark’s headquarters.
