Change Starts Here: Turning Outrage into Political Power

If you’ve ever thought, “Someone should do something,” and then realized that someone might be you, this event is for you. Join us for an energizing and practical evening with local leaders who’ve stepped into the political arena, and the incredible team members who helped them get there.

You’ll hear from Sarasota City Commissioner Jen Ahearn-Koch, Sarasota County School Board Member Liz Barker, Erika Ivanyi (Liz’s campaign manager), and Leslie O’Dell (Liz’s field director), who had no prior political experience but played a critical role in a winning campaign.

Whether you’re fired up to run, curious about what’s involved, or want to make a difference from behind the scenes, this event will show you how everyday people become changemakers. You’ll leave with real insight, a clearer path to action, and the confidence to take your next step - whether it’s knocking doors, leading strategy, or putting your name on the ballot. Because real change doesn’t start in Washington. It starts with us.
