In addition to being an experienced expert on creative actions and hacking the news cycle, Ryan is an experienced expert when it comes to organizing. Currently the President of Americans Take Action, Ryan has also served as the Executive Director of Wolf-PAC, where he spearheaded efforts to organize and pass legislation to reverse Citizens United in multiple states.

Ryan has appeared on MSNBC, FOX News, CNN, Headline News, The Young Turks, CCTV, RT, & BBC with recent projects highlighted on the front page of The New York Times, The Washington Post, the Drudge Report, and Reddit. He has also been the subject of multiple documentary films, including Electoral Dysfunction with Mo Rocca as well as We’re Not Broke, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2012.

Ryan’s extensive experience working for progressive non-profit organizations, Democratic candidates, and elected officials give him a broad understanding of how campaigns, non-profits, and government institutions fit together to shape American public policy.  We are grateful that Americans Take Action has chosen Vermont as the next stop for their activism and organizing training. Learn from some of the best who are out on the front lines every day resisting Trump!
