Interventions
Showing up is never accidental. Behind every march, every door knocked, every ballot cast is someone who made a decision — and often, someone who made it possible for others to make that decision too. The work on this page is about the power of showing up, and the deep, patient labor of building communities that do it together.
Dr. Clark has spent decades in the rooms where organizing happens — the coalition meetings, the field offices, the community centers, the places of worship, and the streets. These campaigns are a record of what it looks like when people are truly met where they are, given the tools they need, and trusted to act.

TurnUp! Turnout! Vote!
Turn Up Turn Out Vote! was built on a simple but radical idea: that people show up for what — and who — they recognize as their own. Rather than relying on traditional voter outreach messaging, Dr. Clark created the TurnUp Family, a multigenerational cast of comic book characters whose story mirrors the lived experience of Black families across Florida — grandparents who remember the struggle, parents holding it together, Trey stepping into the voting booth for the very first time, and young Tiffany watching it all and getting ready for her turn.
The campaign reached all 67 Florida counties through an ecosystem built around the community: original music that moved people, a dedicated app that removed every barrier to finding polling information, free giveaways that made participation feel like a celebration, and research presentations that documented what the community achieved together in the 2020 elections.

Environmental Justice · 2017
People's Climate March, Washington D.C.
Organizing sometimes means adding your body to the count. In 2017, Dr. Clark served as the Hubs Coordinator for the People’s Climate March. These Hubs, or virtual communities organized around their common climate interests and on April 29 marched in Washington D.C. alongside tens of thousands who understood that climate justice and racial equity cannot be separated. Her presence at the People's Climate March was a continuation of a career built on the belief that communities most harmed by environmental neglect are the same communities most often excluded from the decisions that shape their futures. This section includes photos and press coverage from the march.

Faith-Based Organizing · 2016
Faith-Based Organizing: Hillsborough County
In 2016, Dr. Clark directed field operations for a multi-faith community effort to educate voters about the record of the Hillsborough County State Attorney — a 16-year incumbent who had never faced a serious challenge. By organizing across congregations, building trust within communities, and showing up consistently over months of work, the campaign helped elect Andrew Warren by a narrow margin. It was a reminder that organized communities change outcomes. This section documents the people, the places, and the victory.
View the campaign →It is not glamorous. It is phone banks and folding tables, community meetings that run long, and the slow work of building trust with people who have every reason to be skeptical. What the campaigns on this page share is not a tactic or a technology — it is a commitment to the communities doing the work, and a belief that when people are truly organized, they are unstoppable.
