Christina Livingston

Christina has been organizing throughout California since 2004. She first became interested in organizing while studying for her B.A. in Sociology at UC Berkeley. (Later she earned an MA in Sociology from Cal State Los Angeles). Her first organizing work was through Union Summer where she worked with the AFL-CIO’s community arm, Working America. Soon thereafter she began organizing with Los Angeles ACORN where she worked across South Los Angeles recruiting members, developing leaders, and running local campaigns for community improvements. Along with other dedicated staff and members she helped open the statewide California community organization ACCE (Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment) where she served as both Field Director and Deputy Director. She was recently appointed to the position of Executive Director by the ACCE board of directors. Her current work focuses on coordinating ACCE’s statewide campaign calling on big corporations and the wealthy to do their part to end the foreclosure crisis, restore communities, and refund California.
