Radical Communicators Network

Virali's focus in communications is on translating and lifting science and research to influence policy and shift harmful narratives. She has led communications for organizations focused on reproductive health, environmental health, and climate and believes in her heart that data and research are critical for equity and sustainability - which is why she works to build faith in science. Virali serves as the Communications Director for Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health (ANSIRH), a research program at UCSF that informs the most pressing debates on abortion and reproductive health. Previously, she ran communications for organizations focused on protecting families from toxic chemicals, holding corporations accountable for harming the climate and communities, and increasing access to life-saving medicines for residents in developing countries. She enjoys commuting on bike, rebooted cartoons, and making up songs for her littles.
