Please give a big welcome to our new Digital & Com

Please give a big welcome to our new Digital & Communications Organizer, Bailey! Welcome back to the Bus!

Bailey (they/he) was born and raised in Seattle and is an experienced political organizer with a focus on youth issues. Coming from a family background of public and union workers, they found inspiration, drive, and passion for organizing as a result of being raised by a vibrant and active community.

They are most experienced with staffing, managing, and cultivating class conscious candidates and campaigns to advance BIPOC & Queer liberation, climate justice, and youth advocacy for all communities furthest from justice and beyond. They specialize in political branding, graphic design, content creation, and campaign management.

Off the clock, he is a regular public commenter on issues regarding wealth justice, ethnic studies, and youth issues and has testified before school boards, city councils, commissions, and the state legislature. They are also a cheesy creative writer by passion—having written and published a short fiction story on the South Seattle Emerald and helped peer review and edit over 40 short fiction stories. He can also be found posting incredibly bad takes on non-Bus socials or volunteering for countless political campaigns.

Bailey's goal is to create accessible, vibrant, and exciting content that pushes the youth agenda forward with an eye toward respectfully and unabashedly advocating for and representing communities furthest from justice.

Also, he doesn't wear that hat anymore. Sorry.
