Coming to you with a very special notice. So coming up is one of my favorite conferences. It's Road Ahead ‘21. And we have a very special offer. Well, not just for you, but for anybody, right? It's that road ahead. This year is free. It's one of my favorite conferences because it's really the nuts and bolts and details of ballot measure campaigns. That I'm a huge fan of, and I'm a huge fan of this organization. And so we want to tell you about it so you can sign up and you don't even need a code Martín!
Martín Diego Garcia: (00:48)
Absolutely. This year is free. So BISC, which is the Ballot Initiative Strategy Center is going to be holding their annual Road Ahead 2021 conference on Thursday and Friday, April 1st and 2nd. And so it's actually going to be about two hours on both days. So four hours total, not a heavy lift. And as we've been mentioning, it's free. So you can go to the website RoadAhead.Ballot.org and sign up for the registration to get a bunch of information leading up to the conference as well as a schedule of the conference including a bunch of their speakers and the topics that are going to be covered, which looked pretty amazing.
Joe Fuld: (01:23)
So if you are into the world of progressive ballot measures or ballot initiative campaigns, or trying to put on a progressive ballot measure campaign, or stop at ballot measure campaign that's going on in your community, this is the conference for you. The reason why I love it is because there are people who work on all sorts of progressive issues and you really get to learn from the best and the brightest, but also people that are super involved in their community. And it's really rewarding to hear about the issues they're working on. So that's why I'm a big fan of it and you should sign up.
Martín Diego Garcia: (01:57)
Absolutely. So this year, the theme is resilience and brilliance. And what I love about BISC is it really brings together a bunch of state and national organizational leaders to really tackle some really tough conversations, particularly as it pertains to building power. And with Chris at the helm talking about BIPOC organizations and leaders. And so two of the really amazing keynote speakers they have are Patrisse Cullors, who is the executive director and co-founder of Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation who will be joining on day one and day two. We are going to have a Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal from Washington’s Seventh District. There's a ton of different topics that they're going to be covering from funding. The future of ballot measures to data storytelling, to surviving, to thriving in 2020 and doing a look back. So definitely make sure that you go to, uh, RoadAhead.Ballot.org to sign up for this year's Road Ahead on April 1st and 2nd for free!
Joe Fuld: (02:55)
For free. And you don't even need a code. So sign up, do it soon because you just want to make sure you get all the information that you need and we will see you virtually there.
Martín Diego Garcia: (03:07)
Absolutely. So until next time, this is Martín Diego Garcia
