Jade Brooks joined SONG in 2009, when she first moved to the South. Originally from the Pacific Northwest, Jade is a white gay person and comes from a lineage of Jews, Quakers, single moms, hippie types, and deep dykes. Over the past 15 years, she has helped to build out SONG’s campaign organizing muscle. She also led the creation of SONG Power (our sister electoral organizing shop). She is passionate about community organizing that builds people’s power. Jade also has experience drawn from organizing in the Palestinian Liberation Movement as an anti-Zionist, diasporic Jew & within movements to build progressive electoral infrastructure. She lives in Durham, North Carolina with her son & her pup.
