Board of Directors
Background
Matt directs Operation Democracy, MoveOn's national network of volunteers who go beyond email and organize powerful events in their communities. Through a combination of online and traditional organizing techniques, Operation Democracy is able to turn on a dime and quickly pull together hundreds of sophisticated events, like vigils, rallies and press conferences, across the country. During the 2006 election he helped manage Call for Change, MoveOn's Get-Out-The-Vote program. Over 100,000 Call for Change volunteers made 7 million phone calls to targeted voters in swing Congressional districts. Before working for MoveOn, Matt ran field campaigns in half a dozen states for various environmental organizations, like the Apollo Alliance and Greenpeace. He graduated from Green Corps in 2003 and Grinnell College in 2002.
