Jesse Steele, MPA

CASA in Action’s Director of Development Jesse Steele, MPA, has worked in resourcing social justice movements across the United States for more than 15 years.

Motivated by his passion for organizing people and resources to build power in movements, Jesse has dedicated his career to “building a bigger us” while fighting for causes that matter most by engaging allies in the struggle.  He is a committed organizer and a tireless advocate for the radical reimagining of our society towards justice and sustainability for the sake of our families, communities, and planet.

Jesse holds a Master in Public Policy and Public Administration from the Center for Public Administration and Policy at Virginia Tech.  Prior to his work with CASA, Jesse worked in domestic violence advocacy in Bucks County, PA, before that working in campaign finance reform in Boston, and prior to that, community development in southwest Virginia.

Outside CASA, Jesse’s primary loves are his wonderful wife, his big stinky dog Fozzie Bear, and Tottenham Hotspur football club. Jesse fancied himself a writer once upon a time and still writes fantasy and sci-fi fiction in his spare time.
