About Me
I’m Gabrielle Newell (she/her), an organizer born and raised in Washington, DC, committed to building the society and economy we all deserve through cooperative approaches. My experience spans crisis counseling, government leadership, research, and community organizing, all grounded in a belief of collective power.
I research and share stories of cooperative enterprises—surfacing histories of radical joy in DC, exploring cooperative models in Spain, and learning from people everywhere who are creating positive change in their communities.
I oversaw a government research portfolio totaling $100 million, focused on anti-poverty programs; launched a nonprofit social enterprise called "Baldwin House," pioneering new approaches to affordable housing; and led the creation of the first agency-wide Equity Strategy at the nation’s largest social services agency, embedding equity into all aspects of its work to strengthen inclusivity and impact.
