I have spent my life building strategic partnerships for communities pushed to the margins. I continue to do my part by working to increase voter awareness by centering political activism in my work.

“I believe that now is the time to build political engagement standards for marginalized communities.”

As the 2020 election is fast approaching, it’s important that people are prepared and informed so that they can feel secure while participating in democracy.

I’ve lived my life as a public servant forging toward systemic change. This work is done on the frontlines - in neighborhoods, at state capitols, in congress and the White House. I believe it’s time for the general public to become political, but how accessible is it?

Political engagement is important, but voter suppression still exists in places like Oregon. Our plan is to educate and provide direct political outreach to Portlanders while also supporting candidates that share our values.

“After attending hundreds of social and political events while doing the work that makes change possible, I know that for far too long ‘the marginalized’ have been called upon to offer our guidance to political leaders, without a return on that investment.”

I am asking you to participate in building political power for the people by the people. Let’s work to develop political leadership, resources and education in our communities while also promoting civic participation that’s inclusive.

We need to build a movement to move Portland forward. Want to learn more?
