Eddie Sanchez's political experience has been rooted in supporting working class families and communities disenfranchised from politics. As a union organizer with SEIU 721 he has mobilized working families to knock on doors, make phone calls, and shift power to their communities. He believes using that organizing model will allow SBCYD to build agency in our community and allow us to hold politicians accountable in a tangible way, with our youth as the guiding force.
