Eduardo Solis

Having attended schools within the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), Eduardo experienced firsthand the disparities in educational opportunities that students face across California. This experience motivated him to pursue a minor in Education Studies and serve as a Peer Learning Facilitator at the UCLA Academic Advancement Program (AAP), where he supported the academic retention of first-generation students, immigrant students, and other students from underserved communities.

Since graduating from UCLA, Eduardo has spent his professional career being involved in the nonprofit sector. He began his career supporting tenants facing eviction and landlord harassment, helping them navigate the legal system. He then served as a Communications Specialist at Public Counsel, a nonprofit and the nation’s largest pro bono law firm, where he advocated for social justice across a range of policy and litigation issues. Throughout his career, he has worked on local and statewide campaigns to build support for meaningful policy solutions through effective communications. Now at The Campaign, Eduardo is excited to bring this experience to advocate for educational equity for students.

Why I Do What I Do: Since a young age, I saw firsthand how digital media and communications can help advance social issues. My efforts in these endeavors led me to pursue a career at the intersection of communications, policy, and legal advocacy. I hope to leverage communications to transform complex issues into accessible messaging that advances educational equity.

Your role in one sentence: I oversee our digital communications strategy, managing social media and website updates to elevate our research, engage stakeholders, and advance our policy priorities.

When I am not at work helping students get to and succeed in college I am…writing songs, hiking, exploring new matcha locations, and collecting physical media such as vinyl, VHS, and CDs.

If not higher education, then what cause? Supporting the arts and making creative opportunities more accessible to everyone.
