Danielle Long

Danielle Long (she/her) brings more than 20 years of social justice advocacy experience to her role as Program Coordinator. Prior to joining BISC, Danielle served as Program Coordinator at IGNITE Worldwide, a nonprofit dedicated to closing the equity gap in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields. As Endorsement Coordinator for Planned Parenthood Alliance Advocates, she was honored to work alongside an incredible team as the Dobbs decision devastatingly reshaped the landscape of abortion rights and healthcare access. She also spent five years with Freedom for All Americans as Project Coordinator for the Mayors Against LGBTQ Discrimination Coalition, working with mayors nationwide to champion and protect LGBTQ+ rights.

While Danielle has found her niche in coordinating, in her past life, she received her MHS in Pathology from Duke University. She worked for a decade in diagnostic laboratories in North Carolina, Boston, and Seattle, where she began volunteering with Washington NARAL and hasn’t looked back.

Outside of work, Danielle divides her time among three adorable bunnies, two extraordinary teens, and one patient (Minnesotan) husband, all of whom tolerate her love of travel, language learning, and the German Bundesliga to varying degrees of success. She grew up in the Hudson Valley in New York State and lived for over a decade in New England, so no matter where she is, she will always drive like she is from the East Coast. She is fortunate to live in the Pacific Northwest, where she is reminded to never take the sunshine for granted.
