Hey, friend!

I told you what’s going down next week at ‘Off the Clock’, our latest Issue Space IRL event, right?

If you missed it, here’s the vibe:

• 🍹 Summertime mingling with bites and treats

• 🌡️ A pulse check on our impact attitudes today — what advocacy efforts feel good / bad / ‘meh’ at the moment? This session will capture your thoughts (anonymously or out loud, your pref) in collaboration with our partner Amnesty International USA

• 🎙️ A podcast chat about finding outlets for advocacy through work, entrepreneurship, creative projects, and beyond

So who’s sharing their story on the pod? Meet our speakers…

Michele Lampach is the Director of Impact at infant nutrition company Bobbie. When she's not helping the brand support families and communities through Bobbie for Change, Michele lends her legal background to advocacy around immigration (she’s the Founder of UnLocal, a nonprofit that provides legal representation and community education on immigration), advocates for state and federal paid family and medical leaves, and lends her voice to municipal and state issues.

Bryant Silva is a Digital Organizing Specialist at Amnesty International USA. At the organization, he helps advocates and audiences across the country find ways to plug into actions supporting the issues they care about. And outside of Amnesty, Bryant is the Founder of Kalma Futbol, a sports organizing and apparel company that helps make the character-building experience of sport accessible to underprivileged youth.

Matthew Chavez is a Senior Producer at Idealist, where he brings to life community-building events for changemakers, in-person and virtually around the world. In his wider work, Matthew is a noted public artist and entrepreneur whose projects all have a human center — NYC folks may remember his Subway Therapy series or sat in one of his Listening Lab experiences.
