Author Biography
Innosanto Nagara was born and raised in Indonesia, and moved to the US in 1988 to study zoology and philosophy at UC Davis. Upon graduation, he moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, where he worked as a graphic designer for a range of social change organizations, before founding the Design Action Collective, a worker-owned cooperative design studio in Oakland, California, that is dedicated to “serving the Movement.” Inno lives in a cohousing community in Oakland where his child is the youngest of eight children to be born into the household, so he has “studied” a lot of children's books over the past twelve years. A is for Activist is Inno's first book.
