EVENT PRODUCTION & PUBLIC COMMUNICATION

Organizing the event, not just taking the microphone

Christine’s work includes planning public programs and producing the conditions that make a gathering useful: clear goals, accessible logistics, effective outreach, community partners and prepared speakers.

Public speaking

Opening remarks at the 2020 Women’s March in Glens Falls, democracy-accountability remarks at a January 6 anniversary vigil, and other movement and campaign speaking engagements.

Event coordination

Through SWWPA and electoral campaigns, Christine has coordinated rallies, fundraisers, benefits, memorial gatherings and public programs. Her organizing notes include a fundraiser for a seriously ill child in the Glens Falls–Corinth area. Work has included booking performers and venues, recruiting volunteers, securing donations, arranging permits, planning safety, and promoting events.

Education and trainings

Public-facing trainings, field-lead instruction, and a multi-part Protesting 101 series help translate organizing experience into practical tools.

Press and storytelling

Media outreach, press statements, event communications and campaign messaging that connect issues to specific action rather than broad slogans.
