Bio
Christine Gordon-Davis
I have known Erika for 3.5 years and worked closely with her on the ARPA POWER project for the past year. She is an absolute superstar--incredibly smart, thoughtful, action-oriented, and passionate about building community power. She is both poised and approachable; she can speak to community residents, municipal leaders, and researchers alike. She is an advocate, a first string team player, and a wonderful friend. I'm grateful to know her!
