The Chair of the ACT NOW Board, Heather Roberson has been with the organization since its inception as an auxiliary to the national America Coming Together (ACT) in 2004. During that time, she moved to the battleground state of Ohio to volunteer for the ACT operations in Cincinnati, where she soon found herself in charge of a large and very energetic phone bank.
On returning to the city, instead of agonizing in the 2004 defeat, Heather remained closely involved with the organization as it transformed into an independent Political Action Committee in its own right. She joined its Leadership Group in 2006 and its Board in 2007, leading several successful state and national campaigns.
When Heather is not busy with ACT NOW, she writes graphic novels about international conflict and is a Master’s student in Human Rights at Columbia University. She has co-authored one graphic novel about a unique and little-known war prevention effort in the Republic of Macedonia (formerly part of Yugoslavia), and is currently working on another about the Middle East. She has co-authored two other books as well, on the subject of women’s history in her home state of Missouri.
