Members of the IPA+ Youth Activism team in full splendor.
Where the Magic Happens
Action teams are where the real magic happens—where the real work of defending democracy takes place. Working in decentralized teams allows IPA+ members to divvy up our work while also building community. It's what enables us to honor our core value of focused impact.
We have teams that cover different issues areas and teams that pursue specific outreach or visibility opportunities. No matter what your talent, your capacity, or your area of interest may be, there is an action team where you can find your place in the Resistance.
Join an IPA+ Team Today
Are you ready to join one (or more) of our action teams? Or maybe you want to start your own team! If so, drop us an email. We can tell you more about each team, answer any questions that you have, and connect you with team leaders.
