The Activist Bubble Megan Carnaroli & Sarah Steinberg

Today we explore the fifth and final group of Activist Leaders: the Just Crusaders. On the “Leader Ship” they would occupy the Crow’s Nest. Because of that bird’s eye view and perceived distance from the rest of the community, Just Crusaders are uncompromising in their focus on the mission - on what fights we’re in now and what challenges lie directly ahead. They are bold, passionate, and relentless in their advocacy and they are not afraid to let other Activists know what they think is just,...

Today we explore all of the ways in which a Lead Actor Activist shines. These leaders stand out for the unique talents and skills they bring to the table. They are engaging and magnetic. Personable and passionate. Nurturing and vulnerable. On the "Leader Ship" they would be at home in the galley, as the chef. Leading from the "side" means that they contribute indirectly - so they might not be hoisting a sail, but the boat isn't going anywhere if everyone is hungry. Join us to explore al...

Today we explore how the Chiefs of Staff fit within the Democratic Activist Community (or don't, as the case often is today) with the h...

Hopeful Romantics are right there - right out in front. The captain. This is who you've seen jump up on hay bales, kissing babies, running for office, creating petitions, starting organizations. The Democratic Activist Community makes lots of room for these kinds of Activists and treats everyone who shows up to help like they are just a Hopeful-Romantic-In-Training...but we aren't.
