WHAT WE DO
CAMPAIGN & POLITICAL STRATEGY
We advise and support clients to run advocacy, electoral, and civic engagement campaigns. With deep experience and networks with grassroots organizations and leaders across the country we are able to identify and work with dynamic coalitions to move winning campaigns.
PROJECT INCUBATION & MANAGEMENT
We move projects from the idea stage to implementation. We help clients design, build and execute innovative projects by conducting thoughtful landscape analyses and working with them to identify opportunities for growth and impact. We also help manage existing projects and teams to run effectively and maximize outcomes.
RESEARCH DESIGN & ANALYSIS
We design strategic political, policy, and message research. We work with clients and broad coalitions to develop and execute culturally relevant and grounded research to capture the diverse perspectives and voices found in our electorate and communities.
POLICY & POLITICAL EXPERTS
Our founder has more than fifteen years of experience working in political and movement spaces, as a researcher, advocate and professor. She has a particular expertise in elections, voting rights, democracy, congressional politics, and criminal justice reform. We welcome invitations to speak and facilitate public discussions at schools, universities, businesses, and other events.
THE TEAM
ABOUT THE FOUNDER & CEO
Katrina L. Gamble is a political science professor turned social impact strategist. She is a campaign strategist that brings the rigor of an academician and the thoughtfulness of an organizer grounded in nearly a decade of community-centered work.
She’s helped clients win election modernization reforms in more than a half dozen states. Katrina also assisted in the development of the first ever national prosecutor accountability hub — bringing together leaders from across the country committed to transforming the U.S. criminal justice system— that laid the groundwork to elect a number of progressive prosecutors from Philadelphia to St. Louis.
Prior to founding Sojourn Strategies, Katrina was the Political Director for a national social justice organization where she supported more than a dozen state based organizations to turnout hundreds of thousands of voters. She also envisioned and launched the organization’s Voting Rights & Democracy Program that under her leadership won Rights Restoration in Maryland – restoring voting rights to nearly 40,000 formerly incarcerated individuals.
Before moving into the social advocacy space, Katrina was an assistant Political Science Professor at Brown University where she conducted research and taught classes on congressional politics, social movements, and race and ethnic politics in the United States. Her work can be found in top peer-reviewed journals and books.
She is a proud Smithie, earning her BA in Government from Smith College. She also holds a PhD and MA in Political Science from Emory University.
