A Bit About Me
Adam Thompson is a community organizer, educator, disabled veteran, and lifelong DEMOCRAT based in Nashua, New Hampshire. He serves on the Organizing Committee for the Neurodiversity and Disability Alliance (NDA) Caucus as Vice Chair - Veteran Outreach and Strategic Planning within the New Hampshire Democratic Party, where he works to build a more accessible, inclusive, and justice-centered political future.A proud, active duty veteran of the United States Marine Corps, Adam deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in the spring of 2003. That experience taught him important leadership lessons and continues to shape his lifelong commitment to fighting for equity, dignity, and systemic change — especially for communities too often left out or left behind.Adam is also a former public school teacher with five teaching licenses in history, math, and both earth and life sciences for grades 6–12. In his decade in front of the classroom, he has taught students facing serious systemic barriers, including poverty, trauma, and discrimination. Adam also experienced first hand the importance and necessity of quality education for English Language Learners while an ESL teacher.In all his work — from supporting and running campaigns, to organizing within party structures to showing up for grassroots movements — Adam centers the lived experience of immigrants, disabled people, veterans, the marginalized and disenfranchised, and working-class communities. His approach is collaborative, people-powered, and rooted in the belief that liberation is collective.Adam marks his greatest accomplishment as marrying the love of his life, Shirley, a woman much more beautiful and accomplished than he.
Neurodiversity and Disability Alliance (NDA) Caucus
The NDA is a new NHDP Caucus being formed to showcase the strengths, advocate for the issues, and meet the needs of the overlapping Neurodiverse and Disabled Communities.Please help with our initial Caucus formation membership drive. For Caucus formation purposes, we need New Hampshire voters who are registered Democrats and members of the Neurodiverse and/or Disabled communities. We take the broadest, most welcoming view of membership in our overlapping communities. It is not necessary to share your Neurodiverse and/or Disabled status with us for membership, and in no event will we keep records of such information. Many Neurodiverse individuals are self-diagnosed, and there is a substantial body of research supporting the validity of self-diagnosis; all are welcome. We know our members belong because they tell us they do, and we believe them. Your information is SAFE with us, and will ONLY be used for the direct purposes of our Caucus. You have our word.For Caucus formation, we need to gather the names, city/town, phone number (optional) and email address of anyone interested in joining. Our understanding is that during formation we must focus on members of our communities.
However, we are eager to welcome caretakers, friends, and allies! So, please do reach out to join our mailing list, but please let us know that you are a caretaker/friend/ally/etc. so that we know not to count you for purposes of meeting the Caucus formation threshold.
Thank You
Let's stay in contact 😊
