Although she has called Washington, D.C. home for the past few years, Francesca was born and raised in New Jersey.

As a result, Francesca became incredibly passionate about advancing conditions for her community and other historically underrepresented groups and creating a better world for future generations.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To create this change, Francesca pursued a career in political Social Work, obtaining her BASW and later an MSW, with a management and policy specialization. Since then, she has had experience working for a New Jersey-based Latinx\/e non-profit, and the federal government; and organizing to get out the vote. Now, Francesca is eager to continue her journey by working to defend direct democracy and encourage meaningful change through progressive ballot initiatives with BISC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In her free time, Francesca can be found thrifting, reading, spending time with her cat, or being a tourist in her own city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-6202","staff","type-staff","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Francesca Baroni - Ballot Initiative Strategy Center<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/ballot.org\/staff\/francesca-baroni\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Francesca Baroni - Ballot Initiative Strategy Center\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Francesca Baroni (She\/Her\/Ella) is BISC\u2019s Research Analyst.
