Regan Hall is a founding member of Raising Our Future After such a contentious primary season, I was looking forward to life settling down after the November 8, 2016 election.

Andrea is Raising Our Future
Andrea Waner is a founding member of Raising Our Future I wish I had something profound to say. Something that levitated your hearts and accurately (and inspirationally!) articulated why I got involved with Raising Our Future PAC. But – I don’t. I got involved because it matters and it was the right thing to do. […]

Mark H. is Raising Our Future
It feels so easy to be powerless and voiceless in today’s political climate. My wife and I have a son, child care, jobs, pets, house projects and ….well…life. We vote and post to social media, research and debate but when the polls close we walk away and just spectate. [Read more…]
