Nearly 150 enthusiastic Alliance leaders — organizing staff, phonebank and canvass team leaders, volunteer neighborhood activists — converged in LA from August 21-22, for the first annual CA Alliance Leadership Convening. Joining the gathering were funder friends from Veatch, Ford, Irvine and Liberty Hill Foundations and the Progressive Era Project, as well as allies from the Courage Campaign, PowerPAC, Mobilizing the Immigrant Voter, the Center for Race, Poverty and the Environment, and California Forward. United Domestic Workers leaders attended, as well as those from Mexican American Political Association, and the Dolores Huerta Foundation, who are all looking to partner with the Alliance in November.
