Our Team

Ericka Persson

Ericka is a political strategist who has been working on progressive campaigns since 2014. She began as a field organizer on Bernie 2016 before becoming staff on the National Digital team at the Working Families Party. Her field-digital hybrid background shapes her approach today: a campaign’s paid digital media program can and should be informed by on the ground organizing. She has built and executed digital strategies in districts across the country to make that possible — including during the pandemic, when campaigns were forced to move almost entirely online.

Her work spans digital media strategy for progressive organizations and candidate campaigns including Working Families Party, Third Act/Grey PAC, Bend the Arc, and KC Tenants Association. In the most recent New York City election cycle, she helped power City Council victories for Tiffany Cabán, Alexa Avilés, and Shahana Hanif.

Sophia Passacantando

Sophie first started working on campaigns in 2016 for Hillary in Pittsburgh, PA as a field organizer. Since then, she has worked as the Digital Press Assistant for Elizabeth Warren's 2019 presidential primary in Iowa, Mobilization Director for Katie Porter in 2020, and continues to do video and other digital work for campaigns up and down the ballot. She believes progressive candidates deserve storytelling as inspiring as their message.
