Erin Casey
Organizing Director
Philadelphia, PA

Erin has experience in many aspects of running volunteer and field campaigns, but her expertise is in student organizing, conferences and trainings. After graduating from Green Corps, the National Field School for Environmental Organizing, she was part of the leadership team that organized ECOnference 1999 and 2001. In 2004, Erin also worked on the national staff of the New Voters Project, which succeeded in becoming the largest grassroots youth voter mobilization effort in this country's history, registering over 500,000 18-to-30 year-olds to vote, and contacting more than half a million to get out the vote.

Then, in 2007, Erin and a team of organizers ran the recruitment and logistics for Powershift, successfully bringing together 7,000 student activists nationally for a conference and training.  During the 2008 elections, Erin served as Training Coordinator for an independent expenditure campaign.  In addition, she was the state director for Pennsylvania for Grassroots Campaigns and MoveOn’s Youth Voter Registration campaign that registered 250,000 young voters in the 8 weeks before the voter registration deadline.  Recently, she oversaw a team of organizers that recruited close to 3,000 students to work on Grassroots Campaigns’  2009 summer campaigns with Amnesty International, ACLU, Equality California, and the League of Conservation Voters.
