Director of Legislative Advocacy

Hope Williams is the Director of Legislative Advocacy at the Sustainable Economies Law Center. As a black queer woman in the Bay Area she is devoted to housing rights and organizing people-power to fight the oppressive white supremacist regime. She spends most of her time making sure that the law is radically accessible to the people. She is a San Francisco City Commissioner, serves on the SF Hamilton Families' board, and had served as the board president for the San Francisco Community Land Trust. Her background includes managing political campaigns, organizing within the boycott division of the labor union UniteHere, and coalescing with tenants rights organizations. In her spare time, she secretly trains people on how to get arrested through coordinated acts of civil disobedience.
