ABOUT AUTUMN
I grew up in Kirkland, WA. At the dawn of the internet, I worked at Netscape, where we used 30,000 volunteers from all over the world to organize the web. Our open-source data was used for Google's initial crawl, and our project was the inspiration for Wikipedia.
In Dec 2020, I moved to Lower Haight with my partner Siva and our kids.
I launched the school board recall with Siva, and we took our movement from literally zero (we knew about six people in SF) to a landslide that won every neighborhood in the City.
Most recently, I ran a campaign to bring algebra back to middle school. My community worked with the school district, the city, and the people of San Francisco to bring algebra back -- and it worked. This fall, for the first time in a decade, our 8th graders will be learning algebra.
