Template:TOCnestleft Julia Shannon has been a DSA member since fall of 2017.
- I am currently a member of the Immigration Justice Committee and the Climate Justice Committee, and am the Climate liaison to the Bernie 2020 Working Group.
- I have worked as a political organizer for the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), and the nation's largest local union SEIU Local 1199, directing statewide campaigns mobilizing union members to engage in national electoral work to support pro-worker candidates and ballot initiatives and preserve state-level healthcare funding. I have also worked as an organizer and trainer on national and statewide electoral campaigns, focusing on voter registration, voter mobilization, and coalition building. As an activist I have participated in direct actions focusing on state legislatures and federal elected officials, and participated in the water protector movement. I am also currently a member of the LA-based Japanese-American community organization Nikkei Progressives, working on projects to stand in solidarity with migrants, asylum seekers, and refugees.[1]
