Annie Powers (she/her) is a PhD candidate at UCLA. Annie is a scholar of homeless people's political struggles in the United States. She is an organizer with the Union de Vecinos and the Downtown Local of the Los Angeles Tenants Union.

Annie's dissertation focuses on the National Union of the Homeless and the struggle for urban land in the late 20th century United States.
