Bilal Tahir

Director of Power Building

Bilal volunteered on Ocasio2018 after quitting his job as an engineer, and quickly rose up to become the field director. After the campaign, Bilal joined Justice Democrats where he worked on candidate recruitment, and congressional campaigns across the country (including Nashville) as a Deputy Campaigns Director. He was acting CM and then field director for Bowman 2020, and launched JD campaigns in 2021. After leaving Justice Democrats, Bilal organized Discord communities across the United States with Progressive Victory as their Organizing Director/Managing Director in 2021 and 2022. Bilal is now the Director of Power Building for Stand Up Nashville where he looks forward to making trouble for big corporations. He is adamant that astrology isn’t real, but what else can you expect from a Gemini. After the revolution, Bilal hopes to have time to ponder the number 42.
