Daughter of a public school teacher, Angel Gober has been a dedicated activist and organizer for the past fifteen years. Her work as a parent organizer has driven the campaigns against School Push Out. She has fought for community schools, Early Affordable Education and raising the minimum wage in Pittsburgh. In 2010 as part of a coalition of labor, community, faith-based and environmental organizations, Angel worked to pass the city's Prevailing Wage for Service Workers and Clean Water laws. Her background in housing justice led her to become a political strategist, developing Black leadership in local systems of power. Currently Angel is the Western Pennsyvania Director for ONE Pittsburgh, a social justice membership organization of low and moderate income Pennsylvanians working to follow the money, confront the power and create the change.
