Senior Fellow, Amalgamated Foundation
Ginny Goldman is an organizer and political strategist focused on advancing racial and economic justice. She’s spent her career working to create transformational change in political and governing systems through movement-based power— particularly in the south and southwest. Ginny co-founded the Texas Organizing Project in 2009, and has remained firmly committed to driving national change rooted in local and state level power-building. In 2021, she started Organizing Resilience, a nationwide initiative backing talent and ideas to drive structural change in the face of climate disasters. She has served as a senior advisor to Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo and a strategic consultant to a number of political campaigns, labor and philanthropic institutions. Ginny has an unusual ability to work across the disciplines of electoral politics, movements, organizing, and governance.
Ginny is the national treasurer of Women’s March Wins PAC and is a former board member of Planned Parenthood Texas Votes. She holds a BA from the State University of New York at Buffalo. She lives in Houston.
