The Change Collective was created by Barack Obama and runs under Civic Nation led by Valerie Jarrett.

“Obama, in a video message, launched the Change Collective, which looks to reinvent civic life for the 21st century by investing in and supporting the next generation of leaders who are BRIDGING DIVIDES and driving change in their communities.”

PS, where have we heard Bridging Divides before? 😉

The Change Collective is Alinskyite community organizing at its best.

♦️Introducing the Obama Change Collective Advisory Council:

👏🏻 Pay. Attention. To. These. Names

- John Bridgeland
Co-Chair & CEO, More Perfect; Executive Chairman, Office of American Possibilities, architect of Bedrock andDignify.us
Served on Obama White House Council for Community Solutions. He also served as Director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, Assistant to the President

- Hahrie Han
Director, Stavros Niarchos Foundation Agora Institute - Johns Hopkins

- Sanjiv Rao
Managing Director, Movements and Media, Democracy Fund

- Jamie Merisotis
President & CEO, Lumina Foundation

- Michele Jawando
Senior Vice President of  Programs, Omidyar Network

- Xavier de Souza Briggs
Senior Fellow, Brookings; Senior Advisor & Co-Founder, What Works Plus

Pay attention to these names. Some you have heard about before, like Hahrie Han from the Johns Hopkins Agora Institute that @DataRepublican and I both spoke about.

What about those from the Soros Democracy Alliances Democracy Fund. A fund ran by Pierre Omidyar who also ran Lumina. That’s three names from above. You need to realize Obamas connections to Omidyar. And he’s just as big if not bigger than Soros.

Others, like John Bridgeland will be coming up more later. “More Perfect”, which he founded is a partner of the Change Collective.

♦️There’s a name not listed under the Change Collective that you will also be hearing about a lot in the future. Cecilia Muñoz from the Change Collective partner, “More Perfect”.

So where can you find Cecilia Muñoz of the Obama White House’s Senior Team these days?

- More Perfect (Obama linked)
- Biden Transition
- Protect Democracy
- Joyce Foundation (Obama linked)
- Bedrock (Obama Linked
-Dignify.us(Obama Linked) - Civic nation (Obama)
- La Raza NJ
- New America VP
- Advises open society
- Project hyphen

You will be shocked when you see what all this leads to. Sources to follow.

❗️Trust me folks, this will be going into lots of directions. So don’t forget these connections!

Here’s the complete list of the Change Collective staff which is larger than what I listed. I listed what I felt are important at this moment. This could change.

“ Change Collective is an initiative of Civic Nation, a 501(c)(3) organization.”

Good lord, when will Mr Hope and Change stop terrorizing Americans?

♦️Obama launches leadership network (Change Collective)

“Jackson will be among the first sites of a new leadership program Obama will soon launch to build a national network of young leaders from a range of regions, identities, backgrounds and political persuasions who are intent on improving their local communities at a time of intense polarization.

Named the Change Collective, the program intends to create a network of local leaders who will gain resources and share strategies to improve communities across the country. The program’s inaugural class will include 25 participants in each of three pilot cities: Chicago, Detroit and Jackson. The network aims to quickly expand to a variety of different communities of varying sizes across the country.”

“The program will be overseen by several Obama administration alumni who hope to equip people with training and mentorship from a politically and professionally diverse set of advisers. It will be housed within Civic Nation, a nonprofit founded by Obama administration alumni that coordinates campaigns a variety of issues including voting rights, combating sexual assault and legal activism.”

Firepower 😏

“Change happens from the ground up,” said Kyle Lierman, chief executive of Civic Nation. “How can we elevate, connect and develop changemakers? They have the best ideas, they have the energy. It’s just about unlocking their firepower to make change.”

“Organizing” to get folks the clot shot. 😏

“If we had had 10,000 Change Collective members when the pandemic hit, we would have had a network of 10,000 people who could jump in their communities and immediately organize to make sure folks were getting vaccinated,” Lierman said.

“Civic Nation, founded in 2015, has adopted or reimagined projects from the Obama White House over the years. The Change Collective echoes an Obama-era White House award series called “Champions of Change” that sought to highlight stories of people improving their communities. That initiative was conceived as a way to show local progress amid partisan gridlock and dysfunction at the national level.”

Obama’s “Change Collective is a partner of More Perfect.”

There’s a lot going on at More Perfect, I’m gonna post a new thread on More Perfect, then come back to link this next.

I’ve previously exposed More Perfect as partnering with IssueOne who started the “No Kings” influence operation. IssueOne had a handful of previous CIA working there.

Ok now I have two threads to source. 😹

I promised you more info on “More Perfect” so here it is.

This Bridging Divides stuff is a ruse in my opinion. I’ve seen tons of info all over the place that speaks badly of conservatives.

These aren’t my big stories. These are basic foundational information that you will need coming up.

Now my friend @CCDHWatch gave me these two great bios on Sanjiv Rao of Obamas Change Collective tho it’s not mentioned here.

Sanjiv Rao’s connections to Tufts is remarkable for two reasons.

1. Omidyar went to Tufts

2. Tufts is an International Violent Conflict Center and an extremely important CIA center that is for "soft non-violent protests ".
