National Field Director for Peace Alliance (SPA parent organization)
dan@peacealliance.org
Dan’s first political organizing was in high school – volunteering with both Future Generations for Nuclear Disarmament and Amnesty International. With a law degree focusing on Native American Law, he has advocated for native peoples’ religious freedoms, cultural resource protections, and rights of self-governance from Oregon to the Amazon Basin to Southeast Asia. For the past six years (before joining TPA’s staff) he has worked as a counselor, advocate, and community organizer on behalf of homeless residents of Alachua County, FL – while also serving as a volunteer State Coordinator for TPA, and on the Boards of several community organizations including a charter school for performing arts and an organic blueberry farm. Dan has acted in numerous plays and co-written and directed a few, including “Galileo of Gainesville,” which features five original songs. He has been trained and led trainings in Compassionate (aka Non-Violent) Communication, and also been trained to facilitate Restorative Circles. He is now an uncle of 16 and a great-uncle of four, and he wants for those children a world beyond war.
