Audrey Gerard

In 2015 I received a first-generation woman scholarship to attend a college of my choice in Michigan from Representative Debbie Dingell. I graduated undergraduate college in three years instead of four while holding jobs and volunteer positions at the local food bank between 2016-2019. In 2017, my organization was given an award by U.S Senator Gary Peter's at the Great Lake's Award Ceremony for our work at Clean Water Action. In 2019, I published an honors thesis called, "Analysis of Food Security." I also became the youngest Relational Organizer at Michigan United in 2020, while building, leading, and training a team of 15 relational organizers in the span of nine months.

Now I hold a position as a Health Care Organizer, which was formed in 2020 as a way to support the nonpartisan vaccine rollout.

Since May of 2021 I have supported Casey Copp, the Real Recovery Now Campaign Manager in the efforts of the Build Back Better bills. I also headed the Be a Hero Campaign, which is hosted weekly by phone banks and text banks in support of a future that includes caring infrastructure with funding for care, climate, and citizenship.
