Regan Hall is Raising Our Future

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

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…]
Kate is Raising Our Future

In 1969 the global company my dad worked for held a contest. The grand prize was working for a year in their New York and San Francisco offices – a big deal for a 23 year old from Liverpool! [Read more…]
Alex and Jess are Raising Our Future

Our family fought hard in the 2016 election. We made phone calls, attended rallies, registered voters, learned about the issues and worked to educate others. [Read more…]
