About April
I'm a digital and campaign strategist (she/they) based in Oakland. My wide-ranging advocacy career has included a big-city mayor's office, the Sierra Club, grassroots housing and electoral campaigns, labor unions and global climate coalitions.
I locate the handful of people who can make a decision, and build the pressure that makes the right decision the obvious one. My narrative organizing approach builds power for organizations and causes at the level of cultural hegemony, not just temporary campaign wins.
I do my best work with a lot of campaigns in motion. At the Sierra Club I ran communications for five programs at once, from the Outdoors team and the Sierra Student Coalition to environmental justice organizers nationwide, the Puerto Rico chapter and the DEI department, while simultaneously serving as communications director for Carroll Fife's council race and Moms for Housing.
Now as a consultant, I serve clients across issue areas, helping them identify the right strategies to accomplish their comms and digital goals. I am a jack-of-all-trades, comms-department-in-a-box type consultant who can fulfill virtually any role and is always learning new skills and tools.
