The Democratic National Committee (DNC) team is currently building a national network of storytellers whose lived experiences, on housing, health care, food costs, jobs, and dignity, help shape how Democrats communicate and organize. If you or someone you know has a story that reflects the challenges and resilience of America’s working people, please fill out the form: https://win.dnc.org/storytellerform.

They are looking for all stories right now but at the moment we are especially looking for:
Veterans impacted by healthcare, benefits, or rising costs
Rising costs (utilities, groceries, housing, health care, medical bills)
Hospital or medical center closures and harms to public health infrastructure and their effects on families, caregivers, and accessibility.
Immigration/ICE impacts — people directly affected by enforcement actions, refugees, or asylum seekers

There emphasis is on Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, and Wisconsin. Let's show up for this!! Here is a perfect way to tell your story!
