I am a community, union and political organizer and educator with over two and a half decades of experience. Originally from the United States, now living in the European Union (Czech Republic), I have a strong international network and practice. I bring a background in strategic and political education, with a popular education (i.e. critical pedagogy) approach, to my work of building strong, just and equitable communities. I train, teach, and accompany movement leaders and organizations on their journey to becoming more effective organizers and "organizing organizations," and I regularly find my work exists at the intersection of community organizing and building broad based political power.
