Meet the team behind Upper Left Strategies!
October 6, 2020
Meet Seferiana Day and Michael Charles - the cofounders and owners of Upper Left Strategies, a political consulting firm based here in Seattle!
We've been working closely with Upper Left Strategies, as they have been consulting with our partners @naacp_pnw to help with GOTV strategy this election season. They recommended and trained us on digital platforms such as Outvote that make voter outreach to friends and family easier. They've also gathered voter demographic information to inform our voter outreach strategy as we attempt to reach as many voters as possible this election! Fun fact - our Social Impact Director also worked with Seferiana at Seattle City Council years ago!
Michael and Seferiana first became friends in 2014, on Pramila Jayapal's campaign for State Senate. After a few years of working on campaigns and on the official side at city and county government, they founded their firm in 2018, after seeing a lack of political consultants of color. They saw an opportunity to back candidates and causes in a way that stayed true to their progressive values and supported representation for communities of color.
Upper Left Strategies seeks out clients who align with their vision for increasing representation in elected office, public policy, and through strategic community engagement. They work mainly with electoral candidates, on issue campaigns, and with community organizations, and businesses/groups seeking to make an impact through Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion work.
This team is super talented and they work on a wide range of political issues and strategies, including public relations, lobbying, and advocacy and political campaign consulting. They are currently accepting new clients - visit their site here to contact them!
