About John Washington
I am dedicated champion of social and economic justice who currently serves on the board of the Western New York Peace Center and founded its Community Economic Empowerment Task Force. Since 2011 when I found my calling in the Occupy Movement I have worked diligently on an myriad of different revolutionary projects organizing local and national events. Since becoming an activist I have written legislation on Drone Regulation, Marijuana Decriminalization, Economic Development most recently I contributed to the effort to Ban Fracking in Erie County. Though I have been able to impact on my community as a volunteer my only paid work experience was with Firedoglake.com. I hosting a weekly webinar series for Occupy Supply and writing articles about my activism and occasionally contributing to the Dissenter. After my son Justice was born I had to go back to full time work in another field and am looking for any opportunity to work as a community organizer. In 2012 I was awarded with the Coalition For Economic Justice Future of Justice Award and have striven to live up to the honor.
