Liz Blackbourn – ProDA in AP

We have the ability to create a Democrats Abroad of our greatest imagination: one capable of assisting every American with the information and tools needed to vote and advocate for change successfully.

I serve as Progressive Caucus AP Lead to advance our shared objectives. I pledge to support volunteers, to develop our leaders, to nurture our CCs and build our capabilities across the Asia Pacific region.

I commit to boosting our community by improving connectivity, training and support before 2024.

Connect

Expanding internal and external communications.

Getting us all on the same page, pulling us together to achieve our mission.

Telling our stories.

Setting up a buddy system to turn when you are facing challenges in your country.

Knowing where to find answers to your questions.

train

Maintain information to bring volunteers and leaders up to speed quickly.

Provide training led by people in our region, at local-friendly times.

Identify regional centers of expertise to help CCs that do not have local expertise.

Build capabilities in our region to serve our region.
Learn and launch successful GPP voting centers across the region.

support

Understand volunteers have limits.
If an established CC is facing challenges, I am here.
If a CC has some good news to share, I am here.
If a core of volunteers wants to start up in a new country, I am definitely here!
I pledge to support the region to achieve our goals – you are not in this all on your own.

TOGETHER WE CAN

Here in AP we know each other best. Let’s keep lifting each other up, building solutions that fit our needs in our region. Let’s realize the enormous potential that we have in so many countries, some with established CCs and many yet to come!
