Liano Sharon

Liano has been a progressive activist since the early 1980s, involved in human rights, environmental, working-class, and anti-war activism among other causes. He has over 20 years’ experience in cross-cultural communications, where he’s brought many stakeholders from diverse backgrounds, cultures, languages, priorities, and interests together to solve problems large and small. Since 2016 Liano has been working to ensure fair, inclusive, transparent, and democratic rules in the Michigan Democratic Party.

He is currently serving his second term on the State Central Committee representing CD12 and on the State Party Rules Committee, where he helped negotiate, draft, and push through the largest package of rules reforms in state party history – all of them in the direction of greater fairness, inclusion, transparency, and democracy. As part of his job running the Dana Nessel campaign for the Party endorsement, he led the largest recruitment drive in state party history, signing up more than 3,300 entirely new members, drawing many lapsed members back to the Party, and driving Party membership to record numbers. He holds a degree in mathematics and has a passion for understanding how things work, why they work that way, and empowering people to change their lives for the better through grassroots democracy.
