Roni Hooper
Senior Director of Foundation and Government Grants
If a public system doesn’t work for everyone, it’s broken. Education, housing, criminal justice, health care, environmental regulations – all of these systems are baked in inequity. I choose to believe we can do better, and I see it as my responsibility to move society toward justice for all.
