Personal Stories

For nearly a decade, CAP Action has led storytelling campaigns rooted in political organizing, journalism, and advocacy. In 2025 alone, our storytellers reached more than 98 million people through local and national earned media and more than 23 million through organic digital channels.

Our goals are 1) to drive narrative campaigns with trusted messengers by using research to shape strategy, recruiting and training storytellers, sharing their stories across channels, and giving partners, electeds, and creators access to vetted voices; 2) to build a national bench of progressive messengers by providing training, maintaining long-term relationships, and surfacing emerging community perspectives; and 3) to serve as the coalition’s storytelling hub by rapidly connecting partners with storytellers and equipping them with the skills to collect, vet, and share stories effectively.

Below are examples of our storytellers’ published work. To connect with storytellers or learn more about the program, email [email protected].
