Our story
Dana Freedenfeld is a seasoned public affairs professional who has collaborated with numerous high-profile national, state, and local nonprofits, public agencies, and elected leaders on some of the most pressing issues of our time. Her work has centered on social, economic, health, education, and environmental issues that significantly impact women, people of color, children, and frontline communities.
Dana's career began while attending SUNY Albany, where she began organizing on campus with the New York Public Interest Group (N.Y.P.I.R.G) against issues like hydrofracking. That experience led to her declaring her major in Public Administration and Policy and began her lifelong dedication to fighting for the change she wanted to see in the world.
She later brought her skills to Oregon, where she continued to lead successful statewide and local campaigns with Our Oregon and FuturePAC and champion legislative reforms with Sierra Club and in the Oregon State Legislature. She has a proven track record of leading winning campaigns and advocating policy that address complex societal challenges.
Now based in the NYC Metro area, Dana continues to leverage her extensive experience to drive meaningful impact on a national scale. Her unique ability to connect with diverse audiences and develop evidence-based solutions has made her an invaluable asset.
