Join Us for Our 2024 Speaker Series
Our monthly meetings bring together Airlift’s Partner Groups, special guests, and Airlift leaders to discuss the Airlift mission and explore how we can take action to ensure that democracy works for all of us. You will meet special guests who have devoted their lives and careers to progressive political action. And you will meet the leaders of Airlift’s Partner Groups who work on the front lines year-round in battleground states to engage their communities about issues that are critical to their lives. Our meetings are lively, informative and inspiring. We hope you will join us!

Fans of Dan rely on his insights in his newsletter The Message Box, his podcast PSA, and his bestselling books about our current political landscape.
WINNING THE YOUTH VOTE

Be Inspired by What Youth Are Doing
We’ll also be joined by LaMonte Moore Organizing Director of Leaders Igniting Transformation (LIT), Airlift’s Wisconsin partner group. LIT has done an amazing job engaging with Wisconsin’s youth, with robust high school, college, and post-education programs, particularly in Black and Brown communities. They’ve played a key role in victory after victory in Wisconsin, and are poised to do so again through their work in nurturing the next generation of progressive voters.

Would You Like to Host an Airlift Fundraiser?
In-person or virtual house parties have proven to be our most effective way of helping people understand why it’s so important to encourage political giving towards community-based grassroots groups. In this new pandemic environment, we shifted our format so we can still effectively expand and educate our network of supporters through virtual house parties.
