Still rising.
In the last four months, this campaign has grown to give space to and be shaped by over 150 Ismaili organizers from 19 states, ages 13–77, that will serve as the vanguard for actualizing the values of our faith in the political arena for years to come. Together, we reached and registered hundreds of first-time Ismaili voters, created GOTV content in five languages commonly spoken by our community, and had the chance to hear from political leadership within our community and beyond it about what we could do to champion a strong civil society. But what is perhaps more evergreen than all of those wins is the fact that years from now, when this moment is over, when our children and grandchildren ask us where we were and what we did when the stakes for our community were so high — we will say, we planted the seeds we found in our own hands and we chose to rise up.
