Yoshita Srivastava (she/her)

Yoshita has a Bachelor’s Degree in liberal arts, a major in literary and cultural studies and a minor in journalism. She also completed a certificate course in digital campaigning from Social Movement Technologies.

In her past roles, she has contributed to the abortion rights movement by developing a media guide for abortion-related news coverage in collaboration with a well-known Indian feminist publication. She was also part of a cohort of peer-support volunteers who provided emotional support to LGBTQIA+ individuals in India through one-on-one sessions.

Yoshita is deeply passionate about CPI’s vision to reimagine government so that it works for everyone, which resonates strongly with her own values as a social impact advocate. Yoshita believes that storytelling is a powerful tool for driving change and highlighting social justice issues. 

In her leisure time, Yoshita enjoys spending time with family and friends and trying out delicious food. She loves escaping into fantasy worlds and can often be found lost in a novel or watching a period drama in her free time. She also finds great pleasure in what she calls her “granny” hobbies of baking and knitting!

Some of the work Yoshita is most proud of includes:

• Producing the Abort the Stigma podcast
• “PDA: Slippery Slope from Law to Moral Policing”
• “Post #MeToo, What Are Young Entrants To The Workplace Thinking?”
