Progressives and Democrats generally agree that we are behind the curve in understanding and using cutting-edge communications tools to reach and cultivate voters. Mastery and use of these tools are required to build trusting relationships and educate them about the issues and candidates.

In the past few years, we have seen the emergence of new groups in North Carolina capable of doing this work. Meet some of their leaders, who are working separately and together to amplify our movement’s voices and messages in the state:

Gwen Frisbie-Fulton, columnist for Beacon Media and former communications director of Down Home NC; Durrell Johnson, managing director of Progress NC Action; Kate Bassett, political director of Cardinal & Pine; and Blair Reeves, executive director of Carolina Forward.

Jess Jollett, senior advisor for Progress NC Action, will moderate.
