Lizz Winstead

Founder, Chief Creative Officer (she/her)

Lizz Winstead, AAF’s founder and chief creative officer, is one of the top political satirists working today. As co-creator and head writer of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show,” she forever changed the way people get their news. In 2004, Winstead also co-founded Air America Radio, while also co-hosting “Unfiltered” every morning with the amazing Rachel Maddow and Hip Hop legend, Chuck D. Now with Abortion Access Front, Winstead has taken her satirical brilliance one step further, combining it with her passion for reproductive rights to expose anti choice hypocrisy and inspiring a whole new model of activism.

Jason Fluegge

Director of Operations (he/him)

Jason is best described as that friend who is already making a spreadsheet for this. Before Joining AAF, Jason spent 7 years managing operations for a small culture change org using media to combat gender-based violence, and the prior 8 years in non-profit arts management helping grow a community theatre into a world-class performing arts venue. Outside of work, Jason has a slight running and cycling habit, with multi-day charity rides, and 16 marathons towards his goal of running one in all 50 states. All this balances his passion for cooking, baking, and consequently eating.

Kimberly Smith

Foundation Giving Officer (she/her)

Before joining AAF as Development Director, Kimberly worked for Doctors Without Borders, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, and American Civil Liberties Union of Tennessee. She’s proud of her Appalachian roots, and lives half the year in Northeast Tennessee where she works on progressive issues, including abortion access, with a vibrant and diverse activist community.

Kristin Hady

DIRECTOR OF PROGRAMS (she/her)

Kristin once read an article about clinic escorts being harassed and thought, “Hey, that sounds fun!” And the rest is history. She has spent the last seven years running the volunteer escort program at her local indie clinic, organizing protests and direct actions, raising thousands of dollars with her local volunteer-run abortion fund, and generally being a nuisance to any anti-abortion folks within a several hundred-mile radius. She has carefully honed her goddess-given ability to be Incredibly Annoying™️ and uses it exclusively on anti-abortion zealots. She found her people at AAF!

Maya Gonzalez

Community Engagement Manager (She, Her)

Prior to joining AAF, Maya was the Grants Manager for the MAP Fund, where she managed the distribution of more than $8M to artists at the forefront of radical performance work. Since 2020, she has volunteered with Jane’s Due Process, a repro org based in Texas, where she grew up. She also organizes with local collectives in NYC. Maya is a director and choreographer, and has worked off-Broadway, on Broadway, and in indie theater spaces.

Moji Alawode-el

Marketing Manager (she/her)

Moji loves yoga, insightful books, great talks and is currently having all the fun raising an adorable-assed feminist.

Molly Gaebe

WRITER/PERFORMER (she/her)

Molly Gaebe is a writer and performer at the Upright Citizens Brigade and a proud abortion doula. She hails from Miami and has previously worked for the Reproductive Health Access Project. Some call her the “Sauce Queen” because she loves sauce so much. Sauce as in condiments. But she also loves wine so I guess both ways work.

Sherill Dingle

Programs Manager (She/Her)

Baltimore, RJ advocate that includes liberatory practices in my work, and I am committed to integrating them into every aspect. These practices are rooted in the belief that everyone deserves to live free from oppression and discrimination, and they seek to dismantle systems of power and privilege.

Stephanie Oster

Director of Development (She/Her)

Before Stephanie was a fundraiser, she traveled the globe as a hairstylist, taught English as a second language, was a personal assistant to the glorious Roberta Flack, worked on a coffee farm, and eventually found herself as an aid worker in the Guatemalan civil war. In her most recent carnation, she’s worked in Advocacy and Development for the American Heart Association, Doctors Without Borders, Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative, and the NY Women’s Foundation. She remembers volunteering for the Bay Area Coalition against Operation Rescue (BACOR) back in the 80s and never imagined that accessing safe abortions and protecting patients from anti-abortion extremists could get this much worse. But here we are. She thanks you for your support to AAF!
