Mo George
Template:TOCnestleft Monique (Mo) George joins Community Voices Heard as the Public Housing Campaign Director. Mo's organizing experience started in college where she worked locally with NYPIRG as their Campus Leader. Upon graduation, Mo accepted an organizer position at SEIU Local 1199 where she worked for 9 years. After leaving 1199, Mo moved on to become the Lead Organizer at the Empire state Pride Agenda, where she fought for the rights of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. At Pride Agenda, Mo led various statewide campaigns, including further developing their annual statewide lobby day from 400 to over 1000 participants during her tenure there. After the recent passing of her grandmother (who raised her), Mo resigned from Pride Agenda and decided to spend some time traveling the world, including time in Paris, Italy and other parts of France. Mo is now back home in New York, and is excited to be working with CVH members on Public Housing. As a proud product of "the projects," she feels that public housing must be preserved. Mo holds her BA degree from SUNY New Paltz, and an MPA from Metropolitan College. When Mo is not trying to change the world, she is usually either reading a good book, traveling or just enjoying New York with her partner of 3 years. [1]
