Bio
Jason Ball is a PhD student and activist involved at the grassroots level in Southern California, operating primarily in the labor and environmental movements with significant participation in public interest, feminist, and human rights movements.
Jason advocates for a "Sustainable Democracy" movement that focuses on environmental and public interest movements but heavily incorporates themes of workplace democratization (through organized labor) as well as economic and social equality. Sustainability has many components: ecology, economy, and political identity to name a few.
Jason briefly rose to national prominence when he became the chief spokesperson for student government legislators at Costa Mesa's Orange Coast College who removed the pledge of allegiance from their bi-weekly meeting agendas citing nationalism, the problem of conformist rituals in democratic society, and religious insensitivity as problems inherent in the pledge.
