Best Activist

Julia Johnson

She’s only in her mid-20s, but Johnson’s passion for community organizing has made her, for many, the face of activism in Pittsburgh. Last year, she told City Paper: “It’s important for me to do my best, and to fight, not only for myself, but for others around me, and to leave a better world for the next generation.”
