We prepared public education materials for Democracy 21 that focused on reform of the Federal Election Commission and the presidential public financing system.

We provided advocacy training and nonprofit management advice at conference in Morocco for Legacy International’s Legislative Fellows -- post-Arab Spring young democracy activists from Egypt, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia.

We represented IAVI on Capitol Hill, fostering strong bipartisan relationships which resulted in a 300% increase in federal appropriations for IAVI's AIDS vaccine research program.

We developed a campaign strategy for the “Campaign Ads and the Media:  Helping the Public Understand,” in conjunction with the Annenberg Public Policy Center.  We created an advocacy tool kit for LWV members, provided strategic advice, produced fact sheets and website content, and drafted communication points for use in letters to the editor, op eds, and blog posts.  We also led LWV delegations on visits to local television stations to push them to develop guidelines for accepting or refusing non-candidate political ads.

We reviewed USBC’s legislative advocacy priorities and recommended ways to better focus the organization’s issue agenda.
