Bincheng Mao

Biography

Bincheng Mao is currently on deferral from Harvard Law School's J.D. program. Raised in California and New York, he is a nonprofit organizer focused on fighting poverty and marginalization. During the COVID-19 crisis, he led initiatives expanding healthcare access for non-English-speaking minorities across the US East Coast. In recognition of his work, he was named one of Forbes’ 2022 "World’s 100 Outstanding Chinese" honorees. In response to a surge in anti-Asian hate crimes, he also launched Inclusion Advocate, a nonprofit series featuring policy practitioners, including former prime ministers of Australia and Canada and a US secretary of state. During the 76th UN General Assembly, he was part of a team that assisted a former European head of state with his UN engagements. He also interned at the Gates Foundation, analyzing medical innovations to reduce maternal mortality in East Africa. In his free time, he enjoys fencing and learning to play the guitar—much to the occasional dismay of his neighbors.
