\"\"Kimmie David – Office Manager, NLG National Office (with assistant, Augustus Floof!)<\/strong>
\nKimmie David began her professional career as a collective member and co-owner at Bluestockings, a radical, feminist bookstore and event space in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. She has since made magic out of thin air (and a lot of coffee) at many bookstores and restaurants, and at such varied places as Maker Faire, RightRides for Women\u2019s Safety, and the League of Extraordinary Penpals.<\/p>\n

Kimmie has a soft spot for cocker spaniels, letter writing, and orange creamsicles. A lifelong New Yorker, she is a graduate of the Macaulay Honors College at CUNY Hunter College, and holds a B.A. in Creative Writing and Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies.<\/p>\n

\"\"Jay Kim – Executive Director, NLG SF Chapter<\/strong>
\nJay Kim joins NLGSF with over ten years of community lawyering experience. As a Co-Founder and Co-Director of Common Law, a non-profit organization in NYC that supported community organizing efforts through legal education and assistance, Jay helped grow a volunteer-run start-up to a fully funded organization. For over seven years, Jay defended organized street vendors; represented low-income tenants; and created a foreclosure defense legal clinic.<\/p>\n

Jay was also a founding member of O4O, a city-wide organizing effort to actualize the human right to housing through direct action. With O4O and Common Law, she organized several large-scale actions. Jay also was an active member of Nodutdol, an organization of progressive Korean Americans working to build solidarity with other people of color.<\/p>\n

Prior to joining NLGSF, Jay was a Supervising Attorney and Clinical Instructor at DC Law Students in Court. Jay received her B.A. from the University of Minnesota and is a proud alum of CUNY School of Law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
