Identifying Our North Star
SFF CEO Fred Blackwell’s awareness of structural inequity began when he was a child riding his bicycle around Oakland.
“I’ve had many different positions, but only one job. And that job is to work at the intersection of economic justice, social justice and place.”
Fred Blackwell, SFF CEO
