We are proud to announce that Becky Bullard has joined our team as our new Chapter Communications Manager!
As Communications Manager, Becky will be responsible for creating and managing the Chapter's external communications strategies.
Becky spent most of her career as a copywriter and communications strategist for big brands and ad agencies, earning national recognition for her creative advertising and PR work. A political awakening after the 2016 election inspired Becky to leave her corporate career to co-found a creative civic engagement organization called Rouser. Rouser was featured in a Richard Linklater-produced documentary called "The Pushback," profiled in Austin Woman Magazine, and recognized by Women Communicators of Austin for its creativity and impact mobilizing voters and activists. While at Rouser, Becky was a co-host of "The Rabble" Texas politics podcast where she interviewed notable folks like A'shanti Gholar and Wendy Davis and emceed events for Supermajority, the Texas Civil Rights Project, the Texas Observer, and others.
Becky went on to found Democrasexy in late 2021, producing content and events like Y'allentines Day, Texorcism, and Tex Support that demystify Texas politics and infuse joy and optimism into the work of advocating for women, queer folks, and other marginalized communities.
She also serves on the City of Austin's Commission for Women and writes about the intersection of feminism and politics. The Center for Artistic Activism has called Becky one of the country’s most innovative civic engagement advocates, or, as her two daughters like to tell people, "Our mom likes to wear sequins and help more people vote."
We are so excited to have you on board, Becky!
