Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, David Jay is a community organizer with a background in physics. From founding the Asexual Visibility and Education Network to working in the heart of the tech reform movement, David has centered the work of building relationship as a tool of healing and driving social change. His research and writing centers on the reasons why these important relational tools so often go underappreciated and underfunded and on how that reality might change. David is regularly invited to speak at conferences and universities on topics that include asexuality, movement organizing, tech reform, and queer family structure. He lives with his two co-parents and two children in Oakland, California.
