Simon Adams

Simon Adams (he/him) is the Civic Engagement Director at San Francisco Rising. He has a passion for building and boosting political presence in marginalized communities across the country, managing field teams and electoral strategies like the first-ever civic engagement initiative with the National Urban League, and running the community program in Georgia for Stacey Abrams’ Governor’s race in 2022. His goal is to see even the most disenfranchised communities leaning on each other to build a base that is tangible to the political process that governs their everyday lives.

Simon’s dream is to develop an online service to promote financial literacy with niche outreach into impoverished communities. The goals are to teach youth/young adults in these communities how to make, keep, and multiply money, while also building a sense of community through arts and activism simultaneously.
