5. "Who We Are" America Coming Together

Who We Are
America Coming Together (ACT) was started by grassroots and political leaders who share a vision of a progressive America and are committed to defeating George W. Bush and electing progressive candidates across the country. The Executive Committee of ACT includes:

Ellen R. Malcolm, President of ACT, who began EMILY’s List to elect pro-choice Democratic women candidates and built it into the largest political action committee in the country. Malcolm will lead the effort to build ACT’s membership and raise $75 million to support ACT’s voter contact program.

Steve Rosenthal, Chief Executive Officer of ACT, was Political Director of the AFL-CIO from 1996-2002, where he developed a groundbreaking voter contact program that increased voter turnout of union members by 4.8 million during a time when nonunion turnout decreased by 15 million. He will design and execute ACT’s voter contact program.

Gina Glantz, Treasurer, has a distinguished 30-year career in campaigns and grassroots organizing. She was National Campaign Manager for the Bill Bradley for President campaign.

Minyon Moore heads Dewey Square’s state and local practice. She was formerly Chief Operations Officer of the Democratic National Committee and before that Assistant to the President of the United States and Director of White House Political Affairs.

Carl Pope is Executive Director of the Sierra Club, an organization of 700,000 environmental activists. Pope has spent 30 years in the environmental trenches, and worked to enact such statutes as the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts, the Superfund and California Desert Protection Act.

Cecile Richards is President of America Votes, a coalition of 17 national organizations working together to educate and mobilize voters in the 2004 elections on a broad range of issues including the environment, civil and human rights, women’s rights, choice, education and labor.

Andy Stern is President of the Service Employees International Union, the largest and fastest growing union in the country.

We are ready to fight back and defeat Bush in 2004. We are ready to defeat right-wing Republicans and elect progressive Democrats across the country. We are ready for America Coming
