The Broad Room

Managing Director

ABOUT US

The Broad Room is an activist training camp. We are building an army of young women to take political action and resist the right-wing agenda. Since the Trump election, more young women are eager to get involved, but the world of activism is often inaccessible and dominated by men. Now more than ever, every young woman should have the skills and knowledge to take political action — because we know being passively against something just isn’t enough. Every step of the way, we are applying the skills we learn and taking action together: Our free monthly trainings, led by experts in their field, teach our members how to understand and change government Our weekly action letters include must-know info on key political topics And our networking events keep our membership engaged and growing
