Hi, I’m Anish Mohanty.

I’m a strategist using digital tools, engaging multimedia content, and data analytics to support progressive campaigns and social justice causes. I also love matcha and Studio Ghibli films.

When I was 16, I made a film telling the stories of fostered children at Adruta Children’s Home in Odisha, India and fundraised for their new facilities, which led me to realize I could use my passion for storytelling for social justice.

Ever since, I’ve implemented and executed digital strategy and created content for for U.S. Senator Ed Markey, California Treasurer Fiona Ma, CA Senator Aisha Wahab, LA Mayor Karen Bass, Rep. Barbara Lee, the Working Families Party, and others. I served as Communications Director for Gen-Z for Change and Asm. Liz Ortega, as well as Digital Director for the City of San José. I’m currently the Digital Director for Mayor Karen Bass for Los Angeles.
