About Our Speaker
Leora Tanjuatco Ross is formally educated in architecture, but has been organizing for housing since 2014, when she realized that architecture is political. Before YIMBY Action, she worked at the Housing Leadership Council of San Mateo, where she focused on organizing people in support of affordable housing. Leora has also served as the president of the Peninsula Democratic Coalition, the oldest and largest Democratic club in Silicon Valley. When she’s near surface-level parking lots, she’ll point out that they could be homes, to anyone within hearing distance.
