Vivian Satterfield (Deputy Director, OPAL Environmental Justice Oregon)
Vivian Satterfield is a second-generation bi-lingual Chinese American, born and raised in inner-city Chicago. Moving sight unseen to Portland in 2008 with a mix of naivete and youthful optimism, she immediately found meaningful work at ROSE Community Development creating affordable housing in outer southeast Portland neighborhoods. Vivian believes in the power of community, the effectiveness of collective action and the therapeutic benefits of a long bike ride. She is currently the Deputy Director at OPAL Environmental Justice Oregon, where she's helped bring campaigns such as lifting Oregon's 17-year long ban on inclusionary zoning, and the extension of transfer times on TriMet through the Campaign for a Fair Transfer, to success.
