About
Tomás Garduño is a long-time organizer for justice with over 25 years of experience that spans issues, states and types of organizing. Tomás comes from a long line of people who work the land. He’s a New Mexican who spends most of his time in the Hudson Valley of New York. He loves an underdog story and is always looking out for the little guy.
The Fundamentals of Electoral Organizing is an offering to the movement for justice. It’s for working class people who want to organize other working class people in our shared interests of building political power. Think of it as a strategist’s guidebook, or an operator’s manual. Keep it in your back pocket, it just might come in handy.
Tomás currently works as a Senior Organizing Strategist for Addition, directing an incubated project called With Many Hands. He has worked as a community organizer, campaign manager and strategic advisor for two dozen grassroots social justice organizations, a dozen independent expenditure electoral campaigns, a handful of working class candidate campaigns and several institutes/universities. His most formative experiences were his time as co-director of the SouthWest Organizing Project (SWOP) and organizer of the People’s Climate March.
