Christopher Ahuja Treasurer

Christopher began to engage with his community full-heartedly as he witnessed the inequalities that came to the forefront during the Covid pandemic. The injustices that many working class individuals, families and the unhoused faced became too obvious to disregard or ignore. Environmental justice, sustainability, equality for all social and racial classes must have solidarity in order to create economic equality for everyone. In my spare time I enjoy teaching my daughters Jiu Jitsu and making Neapolitan pizza for my wife and family.
