We can solve hard problems.

Maria Tchijov is a strategic campaigner, organizer, and movement builder with more than 15 years of experience in progressive politics. As a queer immigrant and a parent, Maria believes that collective action and community building is the only path to liberation. Throughout their career, Maria has worked to fuse community organizing principles with online technology to shift the balance of power, change the stories we tell about the world, and win tangible victories.

A little about me

As an independent consultant, Maria has worked with groups in the organizing and philanthropy space, including MoveOn, Kairos, and Progressive Multiplier Fund. Their work focuses on strategic planning, development, implementation, and evaluation of new projects and campaigning, training, coaching, and facilitation. Before starting their consulting work, Maria served as VP of Campaigns at UltraViolet, where they built a team to drive campaigns focused on the intersection of racial and gender justice, including launching the first cross-movement campaigning table focused on countering racist and sexist disinformation attacks on women of color running for office. Prior to their work at UltraViolet, Maria worked in both the nonprofit and startup worlds, leading teams at MoveOn, Food & Water Watch, and Change.org.
