March for Science x San Francisco

Leading the creation of a 30+ speaker program for over 50,000 participants.

The 2017 San Francisco March for Science was one of the largest in the world. I managed the program, speakers, volunteers, and implementation of a three-part event. The rally featured renowned speakers such as former Chief Data Scientist of the US, Dr. DJ Patil, and popular TV host, Adam Savage. The 50K+ person march ended with a science festival with community partners, activities, a concert, and additional panels and speakers.

My fellow organizers and I were recognized with a Certificate of Honor from the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.

Community Book Tour

Organizing a book tour featuring voices from the movement.

Washington, DC, Powell’s Books in Portland, OR, and MIT Press Bookstore in Cambridge, MA.

In each city, multiple contributors to the book — ranging from leading experts to grassroots organizers — were given a platform to share their story.

Science Not Silence Collection

Collecting the stories of supporters from around the world.

In Spring 2018, MIT Press published a collection of images, stories, and calls-to-action that I created in collaboration with Dr. Lucky Tran.

The book was recognized as one of the top Human Rights books by Hong Kong Press that spring.
