Prior to API PA, he held a leadership role in the college-focused YDMS and worked for the Democratic Party of Mississippi, organizing for statewide elections for Governor, US Congress, and local elections as well. He helped organize protests against new, environmentally disastrous powerplants and civil engineering projects as well, all while working towards making progressive inroads in the most conservative state in the nation. Moving to Philadelphia, James is excited to transfer his experience in statewide politics to advocating for the API community in Pennsylvania.
