Danielle Melfi: Elevating Voices of Change and Paving the Path for Creating History for SCOTUS

“Laugh loud, be kind, and organize.” These are the words that policy advocate and organizer Danielle Melfi lives by. Having served as the Wisconsin State Director for Biden for President, the Director of Political Engagement for Tammy Baldwin for Senate, and as the Wisconsin Organizing Chief of Staff for Hillary for America, Danielle has a proven track record of fighting for and creating change. Now, as the Executive Director of Building Back Together (BBT), she’s helping to make life-changing policies a reality by working to advance the Biden-Harris Administration’s agenda and making sure the American people know what’s happing in Washington. Danielle joined hosts Dee Martin and Yasmin Nelson to discuss her role at BBT and to give listeners an insider’s view into the work behind one of the timeliest issues today: Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first Black woman to be nominated for a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court. With the chance to make history on the line—as the U.S. prepares for the confirmation hearings for Judge Jackson—Danielle’s work with BBT is essential.
