BIO

Meghann Adams is a union leader in the Bay Area with a 20 year history of organizing in theanti-war movement. Serving as the President of SMART 1741 (representing San Francisco and San Mateo school bus drivers and staff), Meghann tirelessly organizes and advocates for the workers who drive Bay Area students to school every day. A Bay Area local with a steadfast commitment to serving working people, Meghann brings a necessary perspective to California’s state budget of making the money work for the people and the planet, not for the billionaires.

Born to a working family in a rural area, Meghann learned from a young age the crises affecting under-resourced communities. She saw the ways in which hard-working people were systematically kept in cycles of poverty, forced to struggle with addiction, hunger, lack of health care, and made to work multiple jobs to earn a living wage. California is the 4th largest economy in the world. As state profits are used to line the pockets of the wealthy, Meghann’s decades of experience in speaking out against the war machine and her resolute dedication to working people make her the clear choice for voters who want a change to business as usual—to end poverty in California!
