Gen Xia Ye Slosberg (夏夜) (she/her) is an organizer, researcher, and writer. She grew up in Guangzhou, China, and Orange County, California. She got her start in politics working on the 2016 Presidential campaign cycle, then contributed to a few other electoral campaigns in the 2018 cycle and sharpened her organizing skills while advocating for first generation, low-income students of color at UC Berkeley. Joining the Bay Area Jews of Color community re-ignited her interest in and connection to Judaism, and showed her that she could exist as her full self in Jewish spaces despite not having been raised with Jewish culture. She then joined the Bay Area Jewish communal landscape, first as a Jews of Color (JoC) youth educator at Jewish Youth for Community Action then as a Program Associate at Urban Adamah.
She is also the cofounder and former Executive Producer of The LUNAR Collective, the first and only organization by and for Asian American Jews. At LUNAR, she successfully managed the launch of a docu-series about Asian American Jewish experiences, covering topics like the intersection of anti-Asian racism and antisemitism, assimilation, and heritage. Outside of her Jewish professional work, she is an avid researcher and analyst of China’s role in the Latin America and relationship to the US — she was recently a Junior Fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a DC based foreign policy think tank. She holds a B.A. in Political Science from UC Berkeley, specializing in quantitative methods and Latin American politics. Her non-political passions include reading long articles, being near bodies of water, and being in any setting where time extends.
