Jackie Fielder

Jackie is an Indigenous and Latina educator and organizer running for working and middle class people of San Francisco, Daly City, Colma, and South San Francisco. After graduating from Stanford University with a BA in Public Policy and Master’s in Sociology, she joined her Indigenous relatives to resist the Dakota Access Pipeline and Line 3 in her ancestral territories and organized internationally for Indigenous Rights, divestment, and climate justice.

She went on to found the San Francisco Public Bank Coalition and worked to pass both statewide legislation and a local ordinance to create the first municipal bank in the country. California is the fifth largest economy in the world and home to more billionaires than any other state, yet ranks in the bottom nationally for per pupil spending, has nearly half the country’s unsheltered population, and our poverty rate rivals Louisiana and Florida. With the COVID-19 health and economic crisis, our need for transformative progressive policies in California has never been more urgent.
