Martin Witchger

Senior Account Manager

Martín is passionate about building a more equitable and livable future for all. With a decade of experience in digital strategy and grassroots organizing at national environmental organizations, he has wielded the power of digital tools to bring communities together to advocate for climate solutions at all levels of government.  

As a senior account manager at Spitfire, Martín partners with organizations to build inclusive messaging, powerful narratives and creative campaigns that build the just future we all seek. He keeps teams focused and motivated on next steps with an eye trained for long-term vision. Beyond his expertise in digital organizing and environmental and climate justice, Martín is dedicated to intersectional work that brings together racial justice, LGBTQIA+ rights, faith-based organizing, and creative and cultural strategies. 

His understanding of the intersectionality of racial, economic and environmental justice began at an early age, when Martín’s parents organized migrant farmworkers in southwest Florida. He has continued this life-long work through campus organizing, environmental education, electoral campaigning, online-to-offline grassroots organizing and strategic campaign planning throughout the Midwest, in Washington, D.C., and most recently in his new community in Durham, NC. 

Martín holds a B.A. in Environmental Studies and Anthropology from Washington University in St. Louis. In his free time, Martín can be found outside – hiking with his dog, biking the streets of Durham, or in the garden tending native perennials and harvesting vegetables for the next meal with family and friends.
