"As California Secretary of State, I deeply appreciate the dedication and hard work of election officials, especially during such a crucial and challenging time as the 2020 Presidential General Election. On the Front Lines of Democracy provides a meaningful account of the resolute efforts and sacrifices made by election officials. I recommend this book to readers who want to gain insight into the vital work of election officials during this historic election."

—Shirley N. Weber, Ph.D., California Secretary of State

Nonprofit Advocacy

 

We help nonprofit clients design and implement community-based civic engagement initiatives that empower communities to become civically involved, define their own narratives, and bring about lasting change. Community-led efforts to directly address an issue have the most opportunity to collectively advocate and solve problems that prevent our communities from realizing their full human potential.


Civic Engagement & Mobilization

 

With the consistently changing dynamics of politics and voter behavior, the opportunity for civic engagement grows, but so does the complexity. J Wu Consulting has expertise in conducting outreach to diverse multilingual communities and specializes in advocating in the California State Capitol and Orange County, CA. A strategic approach is critical for mobilizing community members to realize and exercise their political power.


Communications

 

Every communication offers an opportunity to tell a story and connect with your targeted audience. In the age of unlimited information at our finger tips, standing out is necessary to reach your targeted audience in a meaningful and impactful way. We strive to create compelling communications with a clear and moving message, by highlighting aligned values, and through showing an accessible pathway for positive social change.


Translations & Interpretation

 

Projects seeking to increase language access will benefit from J Wu Consulting’s specialization in culturally appropriate and community-responsive translations and interpretation. We have experience managing large and complex translation and interpretation projects with unmovable deadlines in Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Korean.

You cannot change any society unless you take responsibility for it, unless you see yourself as belonging to it and responsible for changing it.”
