Alexander Perry

Born and raised in Alabama, Alex Perry lived across the deep south before relocating to West Oakland. After becoming disabled in 2023, he began to focus on advocacy, drawing from his background as a labor and transit community organizer (and founding member of the Tuscaloosa Pizza Crew Bicycle Club). 

Alex is a firm believer that–given its climate and topography–there is no reason Oakland can’t be the most bicycle and pedestrian friendly city in the country. As a Commissioner, he hopes to push back against discriminatory policymaking and foster effective communication between grassroots organizers and decision-makers. In his spare time, Alex volunteers at his local bike co-op, fixes vintage electronics, and enjoys spending time with his idiot cats.
