Hannah Gelder

Hannah has been organizing with ONE Northside since 2008, and currently serves as its director of organizing. She has trained hundreds of community leaders and organizers, led statewide coalitions, and contributed to statewide, citywide and local victories for healthcare access, affordable housing, and progressive tax fights. She is passionate about making sure our communities have the resources we deserve. When she’s not organizing, she’s chasing after her two young children, playing with her dog, or enjoying the outdoors with her partner and family.
