Dana Balicki
Affiliation: OWS

I’m so new to this list that this is actually my first post. I’m Dana Balicki, currently living in Brooklyn...my formative activisting came when working with the media analysis, Project Censored, for 5 years throughout college as well as rather creative and raucous anti-war organizing on campus. I practically majored in ‘how to beat bureaucracy’ by the end of my school career. From 2004-11 I worked with the fabulous ladies (and fellas) at CODEPINK as Book Midwife (yes, my title), Comms Coordinator and National Campaign Director, and was up in the mix of national/international anti-war organizing all along the way, including 2 yrs on the UFPJ steering committee. For the past two years I’ve done various jobs with non-profits and social-justice oriented projects and campaigns, helping with communications strategies in various capacities (from good ol’ press advisories and poundin’ the phones to all things social media). The last year has had me in all things Occupy, with the majority of my work happening on the OWS PR Team. We are still coordinating daily. I’m also a certified empowerment coach and work with folks in a one-on-one capacity (focus is mindset) and with individuals looking to launch/revamp a project/campaign/business to get clear on their vision/goals and move those goals into action (focus is mindset and skillset). On a personal note (though everything above is personal enough) I’m from the Valley, the porn capital of the world, and I also write short-form personal essays and poetry. I have two cats, twin boys—one that looks likePuss in Boots when he makes that sad doe-eyed face, and one that looks like Templeton from Charlontte’s Web. My partner is a painter. I love sending animated gifs instead of written emails and you know you’re on my sh*t list if you start getting calls from journalism students. That’s all! 12-27-12
