A leading racial and social justice grantmaking foundation organization in the Bay Area and nationally Tuesday has named a youth justice strategist as its senior program officer.
The Rosenberg Foundation, which has made 3,000 grants totaling more than $85 million to regional, statewide and national organizations advocating for social and economic justice, appointed Christina “Krea” Gomez, who has spent more than 20 years as an organizer for racial justice in California and across the country.
Gomez, who said she believes in community-initiated solutions, was a worker at the Young Women’s Freedom Center as a youth more than 27 years ago, and, said the foundation, “helped build the Center Into one of the preeminent justice reform organizations in the state, one that raises up movement and community leaders, changes the narrative about systems-impacted people, and transforms programs, practices and systems.”
