Megan Casey
@megancasey1
Progressive campaign and community organizer focused on socio-economic equality.
What I'm looking for
I’m an experienced organizing professional who builds progressive political, nonprofit, and issue-advocacy campaigns with a clear mission: advancing socio-economic equality across racial, gender, and class divisions. I’ve led and supported work across field, digital, and community engagement—always grounded in people, process, and measurable outcomes.
In recent roles, I’ve recruited and developed teams, supported on-the-ground execution, and trained organizers on phone and text banks. As a Community Engagement Director, I drove volunteer recruitment and event/service organizing while developing a Community Engagement Program to strengthen partner support and participation.
I also bring deep experience with campaign technology and voter outreach. I’ve used tools like NGP VAN, Salesforce, and Mobilize, and supported data-driven operations for canvassing, GOTV, persuasion, and story collection using systems like VAN, ThruTalk, and ThruText.
Beyond campaigns, I help build infrastructure for impact—founding and serving in a 501(c)3, volunteering with Democratic parties, and staying active in local organizing spaces. My background in high-paced hospitality taught me to stay calm under pressure and connect authentically—skills I now apply directly to organizing in the field.
