From Occupy to Standing Rock, Jay Ponti has been a prominent grassroots political organizer. He was the co-creator of #BankExit, the campaign which ignited billions in fossil fuel divestments.

He masterminded direct actions with Jane Fonda, Susan Sarandon, and other luminaries, which received international media attention.

Jay was a strategist for the 2017 California Poor People's campaign that coordinated simultaneous actions occupying capitol buildings in 35 states where over 2500 people were arrested to stand for climate justice, criminal justice, health care as a human right, undocumented rights, homeless rights and many other critical issues facing our nation.
