That, in its essence, is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power." — Franklin Roosevelt    Caitlin O Mitchell School: Wheaton College, MA Contact info: Login Email:  mitchell_caitlin(AT)wheatoncollege.edu Policy interests: Political strategy, Women, gender, and feminism Hi Roosevelters! My name is Caitlin Mitchell and I'm a native of Chelmsford, MA (suburb 45 min north of Boston). I became impassioned about politics and activism during my high school years and hope to someday persue a career as a political speechwriter. I am an active member of many progressive on campus organizations and through these have met some great fellow activists. I am the Policy Promoter and Editor, and help head the Public Relations team in our Roosevelt Chapter. If anyone is in the Boston area and interested in working with our chapter let me know! I'm excited about seeing what the future of Roosevelt has in store for all of us, and look forward to working together!   The Roosevelt Institution is a nonpartisan, nonprofit national think tank devoted to bringing students' policy ideas to the policy process.
