The Problem: Where Are the BASED Voices?

Campaigns, causes, and policy shops have long lacked a pipeline of trained, media-savvy voices. While right-wing populists dominate the digital space, we've failed to invest in the next generation of BASED, policy driven communicators.

We need influencers who don’t just go viral, but who understand public policy, legislative timing, and how to strategically shape narratives that move lawmakers and public opinion alike.

Politics flows downstream from culture. And today, culture is being created online.

You can help shape it.

Our Mission

At BASEDPolitics, we are reimagining how to compete. We develop and train a new generation of communicators who understand that public policy is shaped by the culture, and that culture now lives online. Our programs equip advocates to use digital platforms not just for storytelling, but for education, activation, and real policy impact.

Brandon Angel

"The BASED Fellowship was essential to helping me start my social media platforms.

Since starting the fellowship, I have been published four times and increased my engagement across all social media platforms.

Hannah and Rachel were instrumental in building my personal brand and developing my content, both written and video.

I know I will take what I learned through the fellowship forward and build on the foundational skillsets that they helped me develop."

David Mendoza

"I began my media experience as an opinion writer and I had little to no experience with digital media.

The BASED Fellowship was incredibly helpful for my development as a thinker and contributor to the realm of ideas.

The instruction with different video and editing software, as well as the modeling for how to develop a good hook are great skills for anyone looking to grow in this space.

The opportunities for networking also helped me connect with policy experts to help with content."

Jacob Lane

"In a fast-paced environment like the one we’re in now, it really is adapt or die. I’ll be the first to admit I was a late convert to that realization, and a true beginner when it comes to navigating this space.

The BASED Fellowship was exactly what I needed. What I appreciated most was how practical and accessible the course was.

This wasn’t theory for theory’s sake; It was real, usable guidance that I could immediately apply.

For anyone who feels behind, hesitant, or unsure where to start, the BASED Fellowship is a tremendous resource."
