Juanita Lewis named Deputy Director of Community Voices Heard

We’re pleased to announce that Juanita Lewis has been promoted to the role of Deputy Director. In her new capacity, Juanita will drive campaign development across New York State and support organizing standards as well as donor and media relations.

During 12 year tenure with the organization, Juanita has been essential to CVH’s organizing work. Some of her accomplishments in this arena include: leading a 100+ person action and winning the campaign for Affordable Housing Assessment in Westchester County; winning electoral campaigns in Newburgh and Yonkers resulting in elected officials pushing for better housing and jobs policies; and leading community engagement process for redevelopment of Cottage Place Gardens Public Housing site in the City of Yonkers.

In addition to her leadership in the housing justice space, Juanita is a past member of the People's Action national training team for organizers. She also co-created the CVH’s leadership school, called the Ella Baker School for Organizing.

We’re thrilled to continue Juanita’s tenure and expand her leadership within the organization.

It’s inspiring to see Juanita Lewis step into the Deputy Director role, especially given her focus on grassroots leadership and community empowerment. Her experience organizing local advocacy really highlights how strong coordination and strategy can make an impact—something I also think about when building sustainable systems in gaming communities. slime rng guide

Interesting update on Juanita Lewis's expanded leadership role. Community organizing often depends on practical tools that make everyday costs easier to understand; on the finance side I use VerkäuferRechner (https://verkaeuferrechner.de/) to quickly check PayPal seller fees and net payouts in Germany. Different context, but the same need for clear numbers and informed decisions.
