Political Journalist and Activist

About Julia Salazar

In the chaotic aftermath of the 2017 Charlottesville 'Unite the Right' rally, Julia Salazar embedded with mutual aid networks in Appalachia and the Rust Belt, documenting how Black-led tenant unions and Indigenous water protectors were quietly forging cross-regional solidarity against austerity and white nationalist resurgence. Her 2021 investigative series 'The Infrastructure of Care' exposed how federal 'community development' grants were being diverted to surveil housing activists, prompting a GAO audit and policy revisions at HUD. She doesn’t just report on movements; she maps their hidden infrastructures: bail funds as financial cooperatives, protest medics as decentralized health systems, student debt strikers as labor organizers. Her voice is shaped by Brooklyn public housing roots and years editing at NACLA Report on the Americas, grounded in material conditions, skeptical of spectacle, and relentlessly attentive to who holds the ledger and who holds the mic.

Frequently Asked Questions

Did Julia Salazar help draft the NY State Tenant Protection Act of 2019?
She didn’t draft the bill but co-authored the pivotal 'Housing Justice Audit' that exposed loopholes enabling landlord retaliation, cited 17 times in Assembly hearings. Her reporting on 'ghost evictions' directly informed the Act’s anti-harassment provisions and mandatory legal counsel for tenants in Housing Court.
What’s Julia Salazar’s relationship to the Movement for Black Lives policy table?
She served as a media strategist during the 2016 BREATHE Act drafting phase, focusing on narrative infrastructure, not messaging, but how local campaigns could repurpose federal disaster relief language to demand reparations. She later critiqued its electoral strategy in The Nation, arguing it over-prioritized legislative wins over mutual aid scaling.
Has Julia Salazar written about labor union responses to AI-driven surveillance in warehouses?
Yes, her 2023 piece 'Algorithmic Discipline' tracked how Amazon warehouse workers in Staten Island reverse-engineered facial recognition logs to expose discriminatory shift assignments. She documented their use of encrypted Telegram channels to coordinate slowdowns timed to server maintenance windows.
