DIVE

Democracy & Integrated Voter Engagement (DIVE) Action Team

FV@W is leading the charge to engage, mobilize, and recruit care advocates across the country. Together with our Network, we are working to ensure economic well-being for working families. And we are organizing to win paid family and medical leave, paid sick and safe days, and affordable childcare policies on the local, state, and federal levels on the local, state, and federal levels.

Our right to vote is the foundation of our right to care. Our Democracy & Integrated Voter Engagement Action Team (DIVE) creates the space for everyday people to join our Action Team and be the change they want to see in their communities.  

We are cultivating supporters into leaders for an intensive campaign with volunteer opportunities, calls to action, and community mobilization. The program will also include training on cultural organizing, family engagement, and influencing policy. DIVE Action Team members can expect to meet new people, receive leadership development training, share your story, access resources you can share with your community, join in-person volunteer opportunities, and even rock our latest swag!

This program is essential to making sure our voices and votes are heard as change-makers on the right side of history.

Meet Our DIVE Action Team Coordinator!

Staci Bryant’s passion for social justice was born from a traumatic experience when her then-4-year-old daughter suffered a stroke in 2010. The lack of inclusive paid time to care policies became her key motivator to advocate and build long-term power for marginalized communities. Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, Staci’s lived experiences allowed her to stand up for those often left behind, disenfranchised, and ignored. Her advocacy led to working as a community organizer on intersectional issues affecting BIPOC, LGBTQIA, and immigrant communities, as well as electoral campaigns. Staci can’t wait to meet you at the next DIVE Action Team orientation.
