Christina Schuler da Costa Ferro is a 2021 graduate of NYU Gallatin with a degree in Revolutionary Politics and a minor in History. Their studies around resistance work led to their involvement in organized actions around New York, including the “Nine Weeks of Art and Action” held at the Whitney. Following undergrad, Christina worked as an Urban Fellow for the New York City government and a Legal Intern for New Sanctuary Coalition, an NYC-based immigrant advocacy organization. Their professional and organizing experience ultimately translates to an interest in connecting grassroots politics to municipal policy.

During their time in New York, Christina has also worked as a supervisor and barista at a local coffee chain, a server, and retail-employee — experiences that have instilled in them a dedication for workers’ rights and fair compensation.
