United Today Stronger Tomorrow
United Today Stronger Tomorrow is an organization working to ensure governments and corporations deliver the best services possible to rural communities across the country. I support the organization’s ongoing communications and policy needs as they work to research and pass policies most favorable to rural communities.
Research Projects
I led a year-long research initiative, the Rural Listening Project, to document the priorities of rural residents throughout six states in the Mid- and Mountain-West. The results helped inform the development of a policy agenda the organization continues to use to support its organizing work.
Earned Media
For the organization’s major events — like lobbying days in Washington D.C, or tours of infrastructure projects and small businesses in rural areas — I help pitch and secure earned media coverage.
“David has a deep well of knowledge and experience in policy and communications, but comes from a background in community organizing and government, which helps him instinctively understand the needs of an organization like ours. He helped devise and guide us through our first major piece of research as an organization, which has proved instrumental in guiding our organizing and policy priorities. His communications background and connections also helped us secure some of our biggest national stories in the media in major outlets like Morning Edition on NPR and Bloomberg.
