Meet the 2010 NLC Fellows: Rhiannon Good

Rhiannon Good
Campaign Manager, Planned Parenthood of San Diego & Riverside Counties

As a UCSD student, Rhiannon founded the first VOX: Voices for Planned Parenthood in San Diego and organized the V-Day campaign to raise money for survivors of sexual assault. After interning for Public Affairs at Planned Parenthood of San Diego & Riverside Counties (PPSDRC) and receiving their Volunteer of the Year award, she accepted the position of Grassroots Coordinator. In 2005, she was promoted to Campaign Manager.

Since then, she created the Teen Lobby Day program, training over 30 local teens every year and bringing them to Sacramento to meet with elected officials, expanded the VOX program, and was awarded the Eva Cook Award, PPSDRC’s highest staff honor. Besides running PPSDRC’s legislative and advocacy campaigns, Rhiannon served as the Regional Field Director for San Diego, Riverside and Imperial Counties for the successful No on Props 73, 85, and 4 campaigns to defeat dangerous parental notification initiatives in California as well as traveling around the country organizing events and aiding with other state and federal campaigns.

Rhiannon grew up in San Diego and now lives in South Park with her husband, 2-year-old son, rescue dog, and several thousand books. They plan on expanding their family during the next non-election year.
