Communications

With more than 20 years of experience, I can provide you with communications leadership to advance your organization or campaign and raise your capacity to move the media, policymakers, voters, members, donors, and funders. Together, we can shift the public debate and deliver results for our community. Through the development of compelling messaging and messengers, I have a track record of positive earned media coverage, ghost-written op-ed placement, and deep partnership with organizational fundraising. I have guided communications for:

Numerous multi-million dollar fundraising campaigns

Sanctuary city and workplace policies for CA immigrants
Oakland and Emeryville’s minimum wage campaigns

Silicon Valley Janitors’ campaign for health care
