Sidra Pierson (she/her) joined ROP in 2022, first as a field organizer, and quickly began forming relationships around the state with new and longtime local leaders. She is an incredibly skilled facilitator and has been instrumental in nurturing existing Human Dignity Groups and fostering new ones, supporting the vibrancy of our network, and helping to bring ROP to a place of connection with member groups in every rural county in the state. Sidra is also a brilliant communicator and serves as a project lead for many of the essential ways that ROP interacts with our network and supporters, as well as statewide and national partners.
Sidra first got involved in organizing in high school, participating in walkouts to protest sexual harassment and in support of Black Lives Matter, as well as starting a Fair Trade club to advocate for fair working conditions and sustainable livelihoods. At college in Vermont, she was deeply involved in climate justice organizing, joining a campaign to advocate for divestment from fossil fuels and organizing conversations about justice and inclusivity in campus spaces. She also worked with other students to prevent a white nationalist from speaking on campus and to create alternative, inclusive events. Sidra grew up in California and spent her childhood visiting family across Oregon. She is so excited to now be working with human dignity groups across the state.
