Idalin Bobe

Training Institute Manager 

With over 20 years of organizing experience, Idalin is an educator, social justice advocate, and operational strategist committed to empowering communities through collective action, innovation, and spreadsheets—because, as she likes to joke, even the revolution needs people who love spreadsheets and formulas.

Idalin’s journey includes founding TechActivist.Org, a grassroots organization providing free technical training and political education workshops to working-class youth, activists, and disruptors, equipping them to use technology as a tool for good and self-defense. She also co-founded the Popular Education Project, a national collective that partnered with over 500 grassroots organizations across the United States, Brazil, Argentina, Morocco, South Africa, and beyond. A firm believer in internationalism and anti-imperialism, Idalin fosters solidarity with the dispossessed worldwide. Inspired by movements like the Black Panther Party, Ida B. Wells, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Poor People’s Campaign, she continues to serve on the national education committee for the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival. Additionally, she is an organizer of Tech Intersections, an annual tech conference for women of color in technology and computing, and advises several nonprofits and impact organizations.

Idalin earned her undergraduate degree in Marketing Research with a minor in Applied Statistics at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. She received her MBA in Nonprofit Management from Mills College in Oakland, CA, where she also began her computer programming studies. Currently residing in Harlem with her daughter, Idalin remains a lifelong Philadelphia Eagles and 76ers fan. Always eager to learn and grow, she is honored to join the BroSis community, an organization she has proudly supported as a volunteer for several years.
