Southwest Community Mobilization Manager
she/her/hers or they/them/theirs

Rachel (she/they) is a community organizer, songwriter, and vegan challah baker based in Texas.

Her experience in organizing spans across LGBTQ+ advocacy, mutual aid, harm reduction, and reproductive justice. From providing direct support to folks directly impacted, to building out advocacy campaigns, Rachel believes strongly in our interconnected power to effect change and to practice “hope as a discipline” (as Mariame Kaba says). She is motivated by vibrant queer and Jewish communities in the South, and is proud to work alongside so many inspiring folks building a better world.

Rachel studied English and Radio-TV-Film at TCU, and earned a Master’s degree in Communication and Culture from Indiana University-Bloomington. They are currently a board member and songleader at her congregation, Makom Shelanu, and serve on the board of a local reproductive justice nonprofit.

Rachel lives with her wife, rescue greyhound, cats, and backyard chickens. When she’s not plotting and scheming, Rachel is writing and recording songs or spending time out at the barn with their horse Simcha.
