Kofi Bulluck

Pronouns: He/Him/His

Even though Kofi grew up in Washington D.C., his most prominent childhood memories are based in nature. He remembers playing in the creek near his home and cultivating herbs with his mother.

But corporate power lurked in the shadows of those joyful experiences. Development companies zoned in on his neighborhood and converted affordable apartment complexes into high-end condos that pushed the cost of living to unaffordable rates. And his mother taught him about how food and agriculture corporations devastate crops on small farms and shatter the connection we have with the earth through industrial farming practices in order to profit off of our food.

“I’ve always had a base level of distrust about the role that corporations play in all facets of life for folks, and the different ways they drive inequity,” he said.

At Corporate Accountability, Kofi builds relationships with people from all over the U.S. who believe that a world centered on care for people and the earth, not profit, is possible. He updates and educates long-term supporters and newer donors about the organization’s role in the movement. For Kofi, the most exciting part of the job is inspiring hope and moving people to get involved.

Before joining the team, Kofi organized for water, climate, and housing justice in Washington D.C. He connected with supporters on the phone and organized mass mobilizations like the March to End Fossil Fuels, which drew tens of thousands of people pressuring former president Biden to stop oil and gas projects.

Kofi majored in Ethnicity, Race, and Migration at Yale University. He also pursued his interest in linguistics and the evolution of languages throughout history.

When he’s not organizing, Kofi enjoys playing guitar with his band and learning languages. His current focus? Arabic and Bambara, the national language of Mali.
