About:

Rome was born in the segregated South and learned about nonviolent direct action as a child. He authored a community-building workshop manual entitled “Transcommunality-Selling Social Change without Selling Out.” His collaborative work and exposure to nonprofit organizations such as the East Point Peace Academy, the African American History Committee-AAHC, the Committee for Mexican Culture-CMC, Simba Circle, Barrios Unidos-BU, the Gathering for Justice, Communities United for Restorative Youth Justice-CURYJ, and more, has prepared him to face many challenges in this ever-changing world. Rome has cultivated teams of specialized care and service providers at Urban Alchemy, a San Francisco-based organization tasked with caring for our unhoused population, and he has devoted his life to reversing the negative effects of racism, poverty, and trauma.
