As the Vermont Network's Policy & Organizing Director, Jessica is a catalyst for change. She uses her strategic visioning and project management skills to dream up roadmaps to a world in which all people have what they need to thrive. She is proud to lead the Network’s Uplift Vermont campaign to engage all Vermonters in our vision for a violence-free future and to advocate for public policy that directly impacts the lived experiences of survivors. Jessica is most energized when she can support and empower others to use their voices and power for positive social change. Her three kids and menagerie of animal companions keep her on the move most of the time but when she does sit still it is often to bask in the sun with a good book and a cup of tea.

Llu is a change agent and creative force living in Vermont. Currently, they are rocking their dream job as the Station Manager of WGDR/WGDH, a newly community-owned, but 50-year-old radio station in Central Vermont. They are a lifelong Vermonter, parent of a magical 5-year-old, and major nerd and techy. They are proud to be a community organizer, helping to lead organizations through significant moments and communities to action. They’ve helped the state’s only queer youth organization survive near closure, worked on political campaigns to help elect bold leaders, and led the effort to build an LPFM radio station from scratch in Burlington.

After hours, Llu taps into their creative nature, curating music for a long-time weekly community radio show and creating videos and audio projects that tell deeper stories about the lives of Vermonters and the impact of organizations.
