Netroots 2019
Mini Bio from Netroots 2019:[5]
- "Sam Sanders is the Associate Director of the Groundwork Collaborative. Prior to joining the team in 2018, Sam managed congressional affairs at the Economic Policy Institute, advancing research on labor and workers’ rights, the federal budget, taxes, trade, and economic inequality. Prior to that, Sam served as a policy advisor in the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division, working on issues including labor standards regulations and the future of work.
At Netroots, Sam Sanders took part in a panel discussion titled "Engaging on the Economy: How to Fight and Win the Economic Debate"[6]
How the panel discussion was described at Netroots:
- "Speakers will set the tone for 'unlearning' faulty economic paradigms and centering a worldview that addresses inequality, and speaks to animating progressive values like equity and justice. The session will make it clear that we didn’t get to the current, and dominant, neoliberal economic worldview by accident or overnight. Panelists will provide connection between opinion polling and public messaging research on the economy, progressive economic issues, etc. Importantly, we will highlight that there is no way to think about how the economy should serve society without addressing structural power dynamics—and how these play out across race and class, and affect democracy and democratic access.
The following individuals were listed as speakers: Angela Peoples (moderator), Demond Drummer, Connie Razza, Samantha Sanders, Vanessa Williamson
