Leadership
Teams of dedicated “core” volunteers manage our activities, with a lead volunteer coordinating the activities of each team. We focus on NOPE’s three pillars of volunteering, donating to vetted candidates, and supporting vetted grassroots organizations in battleground states. Many of us are retired professionals with skills in fields such as law, finance, communications, and organizing.
