For Part 3 of RUBI's communication series, we'll hear from Ariel Volk and Kristin Wheeler from Galvanize Action. They'll provide a deep dive on who the most movable rural women voters are and how to effectively reach and move them across key issues like the economy, abortion, and immigration. Galvanize Action works at the intersection of data science, behavioral psychology, and neuroscience to find women who want progress on key issues but aren’t reliably playing a role to get us there, connect with them on their values, and impact their civic behavior.
Ariel Volk (she/her) is the Strategic Initiatives Director for Galvanize. Ariel has spent her career advocating for democracy and human rights issues, including access to reproductive healthcare and US funding for the United Nations.
Kristin Wheeler (she/her), Galvanize's chief strategy officer, resides in rural Washington state. She has two decades of experience as a grassroots organizer, non-violent direct action campaigner, and strategic advisor.
