building grassroots movements to end fossil fuels.
350PDX
Arts + Communications Team
350PDX builds grassroots movements to end the age of fossil fuels and promote clean renewable energy for all. The organization does this through the lens of environmental justice, partnering with frontline communities and those adversely affected by our changing climate.
As a volunteer member of the Arts Leadership team for 350.org (Portland chapter), I helped lead screenprinting workshops and art-builds alongside some very passionate and talented people.

Make art that communicates the crucial message of divesting from fossil fuels.
Youth vs. Gov
21 youth (ages 11-23) have been collectively suing the U.S. government over their constitutional right to a liveable future in the face of climate change. June 2, 2019 marked a momentious day in Portland, OR with a rally in Director’s Park following a court hearing.
With a team of volunteers, I led the making of 11 large-scale presidential puppets for the event. The purpose was to show, through a live performance, how each of these presidents had passed legislation that promoted more fossil fuel infrastructure.
Thousands turned up to watch the live-streamed court hearing, and to welcome all 21 youth defendents to the rally.
Making the presidents
T-shirt designs for fundraising, campaigning, demonstrations, and volunteer gifts.
Global Climate Strike
We screenprinted flags and t-shirts for the students to wear, front and center, during the march.
