As your current A.S. Local Affairs Organizing Director, I already have experience in the External VP of Local Affairs Office and decent exposure to these issues. I'm chair of the I.V. Community Relations Committee and an active member of the I.V. Tenants' Union. I co-founded the Student Labor Action Project on campus last year and ran a successful campaign that pressured the UC to adopt unprecedented anti-sweatshop policy for its apparel production. In following through with those efforts, I now sit on the UC system-wide committee that oversees the implementation of this new policy.
Next year, I hope to pursue -among other things- the passing of a Just Cause Eviction Ordinance, a Know Your Rights campaign, events that bridge long-term residents with students, and efforts to minimize harmful environmental impact. I am wholly dedicated to this work.
