 information about Aimee on her website:   http://www.aimeealllison.org or 
 call (510) 277-0182   \n\nAimee Allison, a 36-year old writer, teacher, and 
 business consultant, has lived in Oakland since 1991. She earned a 
 Bachelors in History and a Masters in Education from Stanford University 
 and went on teach history and social studies in a bilingual high school 
 classroom. Aimee's public service extends back to when she served as 
 student body president at Stanford University and was an organizer with the 
 Black Student Union. \n\nAfter several years of service as a medic in the 
 Army Reserves, Aimee’s experience caring for veterans at the under funded 
 Palo Alto Veterans Hospital and recognition of war’s long-term impact on 
 the lives of families led her to apply for and receive an honorable 
 discharge as a Conscientious Objector during the Persian Gulf War. Her 
 commitment to support veterans and to advocate for peace continues today. 
 She is known for counseling soldiers and educating young people about 
 alternatives to military service. \n\nA mother and an active community 
 member, Aimee has been part of a number of efforts to improve Oakland. She 
 founded and organized the Fall Festival in the Grand Lake neighborhood. She 
 participated in the campaign to put inclusionary zoning on the ballot and 
 supported the efforts of the Oak-to-Ninth coalition to demand responsible 
 development. Most recently, Aimee was one of several young leaders who 
 worked to convince Ron Dellums to run for mayor. In addition, Aimee has 
 teamed up with the American Lung Association as the Family Chair of the 
 upcoming Asthma Walk to raise money and find new treatments for asthma. 
 Oakland has the state's highest asthma rates - and the disease impacts many 
 Oakland children including her son.\n\nAimee also led the effort to press 
 the Oakland City Council to pass a resolution calling for the return of the 
 National Guard, so that services would not be disrupted in the event of a 
 natural disaster. Aimee Allison’s dedication to children, families, and 
 Oakland’s future has led her to run for Oakland City Council. Aimee lives 
 with her husband, Aaron Baluyot and son in the Grand Lake neighborhood.\n\n
