Meet the Inaugural

Sanctuary Fellows

Our first cohort of Sanctuary Fellows embodies the vision of Tandem: to care for the people who care for the world.

These four extraordinary leaders are culture shapers, bridge-builders, and healers—each with a lifelong commitment to justice, liberation, and community care. 

Our four fellows embody visionary, transformative leadership at the intersections of justice, healing, and liberation. They are nationally recognized advocates, organizers, scholars, and strategists whose work spans criminal justice reform, climate and environmental justice, racial and gender equity, philanthropy, and cultural transformation.

Rooted in community, they have mobilized resources, shaped policy, shifted narratives, and elevated the dignity and leadership of those most impacted by systemic oppression.

Together, this diverse group of women and nonbinary individuals models what it means to lead with courage, imagination, and care—demonstrating that lasting change is possible when we invest in those cultivating more just and liberated futures.

Note: For the safety of our fellows, we are not sharing their names and images publicly.
