Hey you—the campaign staffer reading this tweet.
Breathe.
Drink water.
Don't forget to eat breakfast.
Or lunch.
Make some calls.
Knock some doors.
No seriously, drink something other than coffee today.
1/ I have a similar story. So do many women, trans, NB folks, & POC. Campaign culture, **regardless** of the candidate, is inherently built around supporting staff that is agile, flexible, & able to perform (re: feel comfortable/safe) in varied spaces for meager compensation..
On day 2 of @WMNRunCampaigns woc training, we get gifted with the incomparable @TheWayWithAnoa giving us her #storyofself. Get you one that can tell a good story, y’all! 💯✊🏾💥
Allyship is exemplified by @FrankenberryWV. Yday while the @WMNRunCampaigns team strategized, he got groceries, printed & set up. Today in his 5 min to pitch @WVWorkingFams he centered gratitude for every person in the room — so grateful for his leadership & today, his support!
Being a New York City based national political organizer means landing in DC to a text saying your flight to West Virginia closes the gate in 15 minutes, they estimate 20 to get across the airport, and then you make it in 10. Sry for the escalator duffel bag checks DC 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️

Meet the woman behind the woman: don’t underestimate @monicacklein - who turned @cabanforqueens into a household name. If you learned abt Cabán from New Yorker, NYT, NY Mag, Refinery29, Teen Vogue … it’s bc MK never stops pitching (or never sleeps?) https://t.co/rBg8XQRbcx
Big shouts to @rebdlyn, @avabenezra, and @MonicaCKlein who kept me sane with their wit, support, and drive. Also all trainers/coordinators of the @wmnruncampaigns Queens training where @cabanforqueens spoke, and inspired trainees took their new skills to help lead GOTV for her 💞
