Adriel Hampton
creative director
Adriel has the skills of a Silicon Valley entrepreneur and the heart of a Berkeley activist. He’s been a popular speaker and podcaster on “Gov 2.0,” a pizza delivery man, a roofer, and still considers himself first a writer. Adriel has helped hundreds of campaigns with their technology needs, co-founded one of the left’s most popular Facebook pages, and has written more than a hundred thousand tweets.

Sarah Goldzweig
designer
Sarah (she/her) graduated from UC Berkeley in 2018 with a degree in Political Economy. Though originally from Los Angeles, she is currently in London pursuing a research degree at the Bartlett School of Planning and studying how the development of Downtown LA has been characterized by legally-legitimated violence.

Astrid Cota
artist & graphic designer

Since learning about the phenomenon of people power, they have been motivated to fight the intersecting forms of oppression that have impacted their community for decades.
Jeff Swift
Author, Digital Community Organizing
He is a master at connecting people to each other and is able to make the introduction to just the right person to make a project succeed. Adriel brings people together and helps them work together better than they ever would have otherwise.
Jenn Guitart
Director of Development, California Bicycle Coalition
Adriel and his team are incredibly talented and solutions-oriented. I couldn't recommend them more highly.
La Donna Lokey
Social Media Strategist and Political Advisor
One hour of his time is worth 5 hours of working with anyone else. Adriel is a brilliant strategist with excellent political instincts and the heart of a true activist and visionary.
Joe Green
Founder, FWD.us
Adriel is one of the best people I have worked with. He has a huge heart, and always acts out of a deep desire to help people. He deeply understands the intersection of community organizing and social media and has the courage to use himself as the guinea pig.
