Ms. Lee is a fourth-generation Oaklander and has spent the past 14 years in labor and community organizing and policy advocacy work on economic justice and juvenile justice issues. She was also the founding staff person for the East Bay Alliance for a Sustainable Economy (EBASE) and worked for 8 years (from 2001-2009) at the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights before founding Urban Peace Movement.
