Invisible Hand

Eight years ago, our founder Genevieve Roth was campaign staffing her first DNC—clocking 30,000 steps a day and making sure big moments happened with legends like John Lewis and Yara Shahidi. Fast forward to this year, where we had the absolute thrill of seeing Invisible Hand clients and friends not just show up—but light up the city–and the main stage! Though much has changed in eight years, the core of what we do remains the same—purposeful, grounded in values, and really, really fun. Here’s a taste of y’all doing the darn thing for Democracy: Reproductive Freedom for All: President Mini Timmaraju took the stage to say it loud—when abortion is on the ballot, WE WIN. XQ Institute: Co-Founder and CEO Russlynn Ali teamed up with The American Federation of Teachers to stir up some GOOD TROUBLE for America’s youth and economy. National Women's Law Center: CEO and President Fatima Goss Graves spotlighted critical issue, from the Care Economy to Reproductive Freedom. Climate Power: With nearly 40% of voters prioritizing climate, Climate Power showed Chicago that Climate Voters Go All In. Equis Research: Equis brought Latino power and influence to the DNC stage (what’s up, Eva Longoria!) and all over town. Define American: Founder of Define American, Jose Antonio Vargas joined Carri Twigg and Brad Jenkins for a live taping of newly launched Twiggs and Jenkins to discuss the stakes this year. Vote.org: And of course, we always rep the Vote.org merch! This remains among the most consequential elections of our lifetime. Less than 70 days to go, and it’s all gas, no brakes. Looking to get in the mix? Give us a ring.

Today, The Archewell Foundation launches The Parents’ Network and the #NoChildLosttoSocialMedia campaign. Invisible Hand has been behind the scenes on this work for years, and it’s surreal and special to see it come to life. Built in collaboration with The Dinner Party and the Center for Applied Research Solutions (CARS), The Parents' Network is a sanctuary and resource for parents and caregivers navigating the complex world of Social Media. It’s a space for support, deep connection, and the consolidation of community power that will be needed as we work to forge a safer internet for our kids. Join us in spreading the word and helping to build a world with #NoChildLosttoSocialMedia https://lnkd.in/es6NJksP

I am always proud of the work we do on A Day of Unreasonable Conversation, our annual gathering for 600 or so television content creators who are "writing the script for the world." But, I am especially proud this year, and not just because of the incredible speakers and conversations that will grace the stage, but because it was built in true collaboration with the most talented, kind, creative and committed professionals at Propper Daley, directly alongside our partners, co-builders, and co-dreamers at Invisible Hand. And, this year was even more sweet because we got to do it with our clients, dear friends and partners-in-everything-always, Simpson Street. And finally, who should be so lucky as to have funders who are not just collaborators, but cheerleaders, mentors and doers. Thank you William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, The Just Trust, Omidyar Network, Quadrivium Foundation, Walton Family Foundation, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Bloomberg Philanthropies, Carnegie Corporation of New York, The Moriah Fund, Imaginable Futures, Luminate, Springbank, Partners in Kind Productions and SHOWTIME/MTVE for your true partnership. And that, my friends, is why I cannot wait for Monday!!

In pursuit of a longer table 🌟 We recently teamed up with The Meteor and Crooked Media to amplify an evening of impact for Vote.org. Watching CEO Andrea Hailey ignite the spark for equal access to the ballot box is to witness the heartbeat of a movement! What a joy it is to bring these powerhouse minds together.

Dr. Joy Buolamwini’s work lives at the intersection of art and science and she absolutely crushes it when it comes to energizing this movement. We’re grateful to have co-hosted her “Unmasking AI” book launch with The Mark Up and Equality Now. Here’s to the great minds leading the charge for humanity, connection and understanding in a machine-powered world. And major congrats to the author for this now BEST SELLER 👏

Yesterday for World Mental Health Day, I attended Project Healthy Minds on "The Archewell Foundation Parents’ Summit: Mental Wellness in a Digital Age". Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex spoke alongside U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy about how to address mental wellness in a digital age. In a conversation moderated by Carson Daly, they discussed the pervasive reality of the teen mental health crisis and the steps that can be taken to ensure the safety of children and teens globally.

Happy Launch Day, Permission Slip! Our friends and clients at Consumer Reports have knocked our socks off with their new app, Permission Slip. It’s a so-so-so-so easy to use app that helps you take control of your personal data—and stop companies from using it without your permission. It’s a big deal, and cause for celebration. Because who doesn’t want a safer and more equitable internet?
