The Philanthropy Center (1020 W Riverside Ave) 
Hannah Sabio-Howell is the former Communications Director at Working Washington, a statewide political and legal advocacy nonprofit that organizes underpaid workers in the fight for better wages and workplaces. Prior to this, Hannah spent years as a staffer at the Washington state legislature, where she served elected officials whose work spanned tax reform, environmental justice, and healthcare expansion. She is the proud daughter and granddaughter of Filipino immigrants and Eastern Washington wheat farmers, and her family’s multigenerational ties to Spokane are part of why she pursued college at Whitworth University, where she graduated with degrees in Political Science and Spanish in 2018.
