Jacob Smith is a housing-finance specialist at Bristol City Council, where he uses data to keep rents fair and strengthen social housing.
As Treasurer of his local party he manages budgets that power grassroots campaigns and brings evidence on wealth inequality to doorsteps and community halls. A regular speaker on the human cost of austerity, Jacob turns spreadsheets into stories that move people to action.
Fascinated by the history of words, he sees language as another map of power. Joining The Equality Trust’s board, he will pair rigorous analysis with practical organising to press for a more equal Britain.
