The fun folks behind this website

Dennis Chin is a Program Associate of the Movement Vision Lab @ the Center for Community Change.  He has worked for the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) and is the former Advocacy co-Chair of the National Asian American Student Conference (NAASCon).  Dennis is a recent graduate of The College of New Jersey.  In his spare time (Ha!), Dennis enjoys yoga, film, theatre, design, spoken word, and suppressing his hipster tendencies. (It’s not working!)  If he could be anyone, dead or alive, Dennis would be Sean Thomas-Breitfeld.

Sean Thomas-Breitfeld is the Associate Director of the Taproots Project at the Center for Community Change. Sean previously worked in Washington, DC on a range of federal policy issues for the Center, and prior to coming to CCC he was a Policy Analyst at the National Council of La Raza. Sean earned his master’s degree from NYU’s Wagner School of Public Service and is a “retired” (as in never practiced) social worker, having majored in Social Work and Multicultural Studies at St. Olaf College, outside of Minneapolis. Born in Chicago and raised in Milwaukee, he still calls the Midwest home but likes the big-city living of New York. If he could be anyone, dead or alive, Sean would be Oprah’s #1 lackey.
