Natalie Andre, President
Natalie Pullman Andre is a third-generation activist. Her maternal grandparents met and married in Poland despite their very disparate backgrounds—he was a socialist and she was Hasidic. They emigrated to England around 1904, where she became an anarchist while he became involved in the labor movement with the Wobblies, the nickname for the International Workers of the World, which gave birth to the Labour Party.
Her parents continued this tradition during the tumultuous Depression, settling into a middle-class life when their children came along. Natalie continued this lifestyle, starting with the March on Washington for civil rights in 1963 at the age of 18. For the past 35 years, she has been instrumental in promoting women’s rights and welfare in Palm Beach County, Florida. She joined with Kenas Odongo and Vivian Awuor in early 2024, jump-starting American support for CWPFG, which is headed by Vivian and expertly promoted by Kenas.
