Hi, I’m Chinua Rhodes. I’m a Father of 5, a Community Organizer, and your Trustee. I grew up right here in South Sacramento, and I’m a product of Sac City Schools. While in high school, my father, who organized for Pico California, showed me that collective effort for change is possible and that everyday working people are the key to the city’s success and well-being. These lessons led me to coordinate programs and grants supporting thousands of Sacramento youth and families and organizing around housing and youth justice initiatives. 

Tara is a high school English teacher and education advocate who knows that students win when adults collaborate. She works with education leaders throughout California and all the way to D.C. to reimagine what school can be and is committed to realizing the potential of public education for every student. Tara is excited to bring her experience and energy to the conversations and decisions on Â鶹¹ÙÍø’s Board.
