As Executive Director, Stacy partners with staff, our National Steering Committee and members to advance our vision of interdependent communities committed to social and economic justice. With over two decades of nonprofit experience in organizing and capacity building, she leads fundraising and organizational strategy and systems. Stacy first learned about the power of grassroots organizing working at Asian Immigrant Women Advocates (AIWA), organizing with Chinese immigrant garment workers and their families in Oakland to bring fairness and safety to the industry. Before joining Hand in Hand, she worked with Rockwood Leadership Institute as the Director of Programs supporting the sustainability of social movement leaders. Like so many of us, Stacy has multiple connections to care. She worked as an in-home supportive services attendant in college and is the granddaughter of a domestic worker, which drives her personal commitment to upholding dignity and respect for workers. She lives in Berkeley with her partner.
