TESTIMONIALS

Hear what our training grads have to say:

"The BISC campaign manager training is a powerful experience. I gained skills to manage areas of campaigns that weren't my speciality along with learning how to use a campaign to build long term power beyond my specific ballot measure. I would recommend their training to anyone who believes that through strategy and hard work we can move our world towards justice."

— Brad Christian-Sallis at Civic Nebraska

“After a while we saw that there was a moment and excitement for a wage type increase initiative was very real in Arizona, and it was something that people did not predict in 2013. As we cultivated a relationship with BISC, we started gaining resources on how to create a ballot initiative, how to win a ballot initiative, how to use the resources that BISC provides to ensure that the communities of color who brought these ideas got to be leaders within the campaign. We wanted people of color to run it. And so the collaboration between BISC and LUCHA, to build the foundation for ballot initiatives, would be a game changer for the state of Arizona.”
