Tshaka Barrows graduated from the University of Wisconsin
at Madison in 2001 and moved to California shortly thereafter. While in school, he was
very involved in campus organizing. Through his work with the United States
Student Association, as the Chair of the National People of Color Student
Coalition, he worked with fellow students to create campaigns, actions and
rallies at the university, state, and national level. His experiences working
with these organizations, particularly on an anti-racial profiling campaign,
provided him a new perspective. He believes the overwhelming problems of today
can be changed, and he is determined to help ensure this change comes in a way
that will force the current realities into distant glimmers of a horrific past.
He looks forward to working with all who are down to raise ruckus in the name of a better tomorrow.
