Michelle Rockwell
Montana, United States
I’m a systems thinker, technical project leader, and community organizer with over 15 years of experience in engineering and project management — and more than 5 years in grassroots organizing, campaign strategy, and economic justice advocacy. I currently serve as Finance Manager and Community Organizer at United Workers Association, where I bring both operational leadership and movement-grounded commitment to every role I take on. My work is grounded in building movements that support long-haul leadership, challenge poverty-producing systems, and prioritize care as a political act. I’m also leading a health access landscape assessment as part of the effort to introduce the Nonviolent Medicaid Army to Montana. This work is grounded in the belief that access to healthcare is a human right, and that poor and dispossessed people must be the ones leading the way toward transformation. In parallel, I'm helping to develop a data-informed Doughnut model for San Jose, CA. Both efforts reflect my commitment to building systems that center dignity, justice, and ecological balance — whether through direct organizing or long-term structural design. My vision is to bring Doughnut Economics to Montana.
