I help workers throughout North America organize, bargain, and strike in a wide range of industries—warehousing and logistics, higher education, healthcare, and public service.

A member of the National Writers Union and veteran newspaper reporter, I have published dozens of articles about organizing, and am the author of Beyond $15: Immigrant Workers, Faith Activists, and the Revival of the Labor Movement, on my experience leading the first Fight for $15 campaign in SeaTac, Washington, in addition to my new book, We’re Coming for You and Your Rotten System: How Socialists Beat Amazon and Upended Big-City Politics. During Kshama Sawant’s decade on the Seattle City Council, I worked on her council staff and as an election campaigner. In 2018, I served as strategic advisor to COPE-Vancouver during their historic Rent Freeze campaign in British Columbia, which led to the election of anti-poverty activist Jean Swanson to Vancouver City Council. In 2022, I served as an organizer and strategist for University of California postdoctoral and graduate student workers in the largest academic strike in US history.

I’ve been an invited speaker in the US, Canada, and Europe. Beginning in early 2025, as Activist in Residence at Arizona State University’s Center for Work and Democracy, I have expanded my prior work helping Amazon workers organize in the US and internationally. I live with my family in Seattle, Washington, am an active member in Kadima Reconstructionist (Jewish) Community, and have worked at various times as an Amazon delivery driver and a stagehand.
