Megan Abell
Megan Abell is the Senior Director of Advocacy for TechEquity. Her work is centered on building political power to address inequities in the tech sector. Megan has been with TechEquity from the organization’s early days, working to build coalitions, win campaigns, and advance policy that ensures the tech industry works for everyone.
Megan’s expertise in facilitation, consensus-building, collaboration, and relationship-building have helped TechEquity establish powerful coalitions that drive our work. Those coalitions have influenced policymaking in the California legislature and at the ballot box. Her work in leading campaigns has helped enshrine TechEquity’s labor, housing, artificial intelligence research, and policy recommendations into law. During her time at TechEquity, she shepherded bold policies through the legislative process and to the Governor’s desk, lobbying on issues like pay transparency, expanded layoff protections, tenant’s rights, and more.
Before she joined the TechEquity team in February 2018, Megan worked at Common Sense Kids Action, where she developed and launched a mobilization program to engage parents in advocacy around tech issues that affect their children like privacy, cyber security, and screen-time addiction. That work builds on her experiences in her early career as an organizer and campaigner for unions, issue advocacy campaigns, non-profits, and candidates.
