I’d serve the NPC as a principled facilitator of member work, dedicated to the complementary ecology of tactics thriving in the many niches of DSA.

I’ve done field work for a dozen electoral/legislative campaigns, am a veteran Red Rabbit, and been very involved in NYC-DSA's Anti-War WG for nearly 21 months of escalating horror. I’ve learned many hard lessons in DSA & have tried to distill my story:

I helped found the Flatbush Branch of NYC-DSA, and served on the first OC as Campaign Coordinator, wearing many hats. I wrote & led a branch campaign that kickstarted our weekly tabling, connected tenant legislation & organizing, and srsly pissed off our State Senator:

With the help of DSA members, facing persistent sewage floods, I re-organized my building & helped start a fledgling local tenant union. My TA’s had many wins & even put NYPD on blast; sadly, I’m now being sued for eviction for asserting my rights. (See you 8/5 @ court!)

After J6 and my experience as an antifascist on the ground in D.C. that day, I threw myself into every DSA project I could. The potential complementarity of work & catalytic member-led organizing formed a vision of DSA I still hold today even as my politics have evolved.

That summer I found my organizing home in the Racial Justice WG and the #DefundNYPD campaign. I helped research, lobby, table, testify, hold community convos, do protests, mutual aid & had my ass hauled out of City Hall more than a few times. An organizing crucible.

I joined DSA in 2020 after meeting ‪NYC-DSA members in SC on a road-trip volunteering for Bernie & working remotely. I hit 6 states before COVID left me stranded on the road for a week. I returned to a lockdown + an uprising & began to seriously organize.

(sry for X links! 😅)

A proud lifelong New Yorker, I’m an artist & professional mime (yes, really: brokenboxmime.com) making ends meet through legal transcription and court reporting work. My politics have been shaped by the dueling legacies of my Southern WASP and NYC socialist Jewish heritages.
