In this week's episode, Sarah Durieux tells us a bit about her time at Change.org and the lessons she learned during her years there, starting as campaign manager until she became Executive Director. She is now co-director at Multitudes and still working on helping out people in campaign organizing.

Many people are precluded from the possibility of running an effective political campaign because of a lack of funding or a lack of connections/networking. Multitudes' goal is to be a facilitator and support future changemakers and give a helping hand to people of all backgrounds. 

Sarah is also part of the 2020 cohort of the Obama Leaders Program. As Sarah says during the interview, Leadership Programs are amazing for networking and learning how community organizing works in other countries.

Sarah gave many useful tips on how to become an effective changemaker.

In this episode, we have the pleasure of speaking with Maria Mayrhofer, founder and executive director of Aufstehn.
Aufstehn means "Stand up" in English, and the main goal of the organization is to help people manifest their dissent on various issues to their local, national and European elected officials. 

The digital-fist organization takes the best of both worlds, and Maria explains why their online presence is fundamental to their in-person demonstrations. 

Aufstehn can definitely be considered a success story, which is why Maria is part of the 2022 Obama Foundation Leaders of Europe.
