Mind the Movement is the first initiative to support mental health care for campaign staff, grassroots organizations and fired federal workers.

The idea for Mind the Movement began the day after the 2024 election when a young staffer was experiencing a mental health crisis. Since then Mind the Movement has published a report on campaign worker's mental health and expanded the reach of the program to include our colleagues who unexpectedly lost their jobs in the federal government and grassroots organizers who are often underpaid and sometimes uninsured.

And if we want people behind the scenes garnering votes, protecting our communities or providing international aid - they need to be well enough to show up, do their jobs and stay in this work for the long-haul.

There's so much that needs to be done across each of these sectors to improve working conditions, reduce burnout and keep the most talented staff. But mental health is a good first step.

Our pilot program is launching in late 2025. We will:

-subsidize therapy for out of work campaign staff, fired federal workers and underemployed/uninsured community organizers.

-provide crisis mental health training for organizational leaders

-host virtual support groups for workers

-test pooled funds and membership models in organizations that want to provide mental health care directly to their staff.

Mind the Movement is a project of Collective Legacy, a nonprofit organization that has applied for 501(c)(3) status. While review of the application is pending, Collective Legacy operates as a fiscally -sponsored, 501(c)(3) initiative Hopewell Fund. All donations are tax deductible. Tax ID: 47-3681860

We believe the people matter as much as their work.
