Vann Jones is a transgender political analyst, community organizer, educator, and caretaker, born and raised in the East Bay Area. Vann got his start in working towards community care at the age of 12 when he became heavily involved in the Castro Valley Unified School District, fighting for LGBTQ+ inclusion and education at every grade level. He is proudly a first-generation college student, graduating from the University of California, Santa Cruz with highest honors in Feminist Studies and the History of Art & Visual Culture. During his time in college, he published and presented his own research and educational website on transmasculine reproduction which has become a staple in transgender health care across the UC system, and is now permanently preserved by the GLBT Historical Society. He has been contracted to work with a plethora of organizations and activists both in college and post-graduation, and is currently applying to UC Berkeley Law where he hopes to study under their Public Interest & Social Justice program. His dream is to someday be the first transgender man in Congress.
