Benjamin Joffe-Walt

New York, NY

Hi folks!

About me? Well, let's see.... I can balance various large objects on my nose, once became a Somali citizen in the back of a children's toy shop, met the love of my life while buying a cell phone in an airport and have personally met the 'Dubai Duty Free Superhero'.

I'm also the Director of Communications here at change.org.

A journalist in a previous life, my work has appeared in an odd variety of outlets, including AOL News, Arab News, Bloomberg Business Week, Foreign Policy Magazine, COLORS Magazine, Ms Magazine, The Economist, Atlantic, BBC, Guardian, Telegraph, Humanist and Progressive.

I'm a dual US / South African citizen. I studied History, Feminist Studies and Education at the University of Toronto (Canada), Birzeit University (Palestine), McGill University (Canada) and Oberlin College (US).

This issue is very important to me and I'm relieved Saira is taking action to ensure Brie has an amazing day. I will continue to fight for what I believe in.
