Fabulous! As someone whose degree is in the same field and who volunteers with League of Women Voters this post is a breath of fresh air! Sharing widely.
+++++1 this article. I'm not a developer but worked at a leading e-commerce company obsessed with the customer experience for 15 years. I have 5 years of experience now in political organizing. This article rings so true in every way that I have goosebumps.
I launched a small progressive training and capacity building organization a month ago. When I tell fellow progressive political workers that I'm spending a very non-zero chunk of my time collaborating with a former colleague who's a human-centered designer to figure out affordable user research and testing that builds personalized, accessible ladders of engagement for volunteers, they look at me like I've lost my mind.
This writeup is so affirming and such a wonderful breakdown of how to center this work for any of us in the distributed organizing space. I now have it as one of the top 5 bookmarks that I can go back to and reference throughout the building process.
