With nearly a decade of experience advancing racial and economic justice through some of Lower Manhattan’s most vital cultural institutions, including The Clemente, Loisaida Inc., and the Public Theater, Andrea brings a unique blend of grassroots organizing, public service, and cultural advocacy to the conversation. She knows firsthand what it takes to fight for dignified housing, cultural vitality, climate resiliency, and real public safety—and how to deliver for the community.
