MOVE Toolkit/Acknowledgements
From Mobilize the Immigrant Vote
MIV would like to give special thanks to all of the people and organizations that provided information, feedback, and support in creating these tools. The MIV MOVE Toolkit Subcommittee oversaw the process: Lolita Roibal and HyunJoo Lee, with guidance from Coordinating Director, Mari Ryono. MIV thanks the Tools and Training Committee members for all their feedback and assistance in testing the tools: Yongho Kim, Rosa Gónzales, Alicia Lepe, César Juarez, and Horacio Arroyo; and additional MIV Steering Committee Organization Staff: Partnership for Immigrant Leadership and Action (Allison Lum and Claudia Gómez-Arteaga); the California Partnership (Nancy Berlin); the Korean Resource Center (DJ Yoon, Hee Joo Yoon); the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (Xiomara Corpeño, Anike Tourse, Angelica Salas); Services, Immigrant Rights and Education Network (Richard Hobbs, Basil Robledo, Patricia Diaz, and Norma Gutierrez) and the Bay Area Immigrant Rights Coalition (Evelyn Sanchez and Larisa Casillas).
As noted throughout this kit, some of these tools have been adapted from the work of many ally organizations, including Partnership for Immigrant Leadership and Action, Western States Center, Progressive Technology Project, and the National Korean American Service and Education Consortium. We honor these organizations for your leadership in movement-building electoral organizing.
