About

Josh Warren-White is a long-time social justice organizer, graphic designer and photographer. His photography work is primarily focused on documenting social movements fighting for people’s rights to freedom, justice, and self-determination. Josh also enjoys photographing the wonder of the natural world.

As a professional graphic designer, Josh is a member of the Design Action Collective, a worker-owned cooperative design studio who provides graphic design and visual communications for progressive, non-profit and social change organizations. By providing these high-quality professional services, Design Action seeks to contribute to building a broad and effective progressive movement and participate in the struggle for social justice.

Before joining Design Action, Josh worked as a freelance graphic designer for progressive publishers and social justice organizations across the US. Over the years Josh has done community organizing around economic and racial justice issues as a staff member of Just Cause Oakland and the Right to a Roof Project of the San Francisco Coalition on Homelessness.

Josh came of age amongst a broad array of progressive movement work, from global justice and anti-war activism to tenant organizing. He has spent many years as an anti-racist organizer and trainer with the Catalyst Project, and two years doing movement-based publishing as a collective member of AK Press.

Josh recently returned to the Bay Area after sailing 12,000 miles across the Pacific Ocean with his family aboard a small sailboat. You can read about their voyage at www.bahati.net.
