Hey!


I'm Ren, an organizer, activist, and student. I live in Ithaca, NY where I study environmental studies and social movements at Ithaca College. In my spare time I love to hang out at the gorgeous gorges of Ithaca and cook up delicious vegetarian meals. I'm also a bartender and avid needlepointer.

Right now, I work as the project assistant for a grassroots group called Fleased, through which I support landowners in New York State that have leased their land for fracking (and regret it). Through this work I am able to support frontline community members and provide them with support and education as well as provide them a platform to share their stories. 

​

Aside from my work with Fleased, I am also the actions coordinator for the Green Umbrella, a bad-ass group of students across New York State that are working to create fossil-fuel-free campuses across the state.  I work to connect students with community members and highlight the injustices climate change afflicts us all with through creative and strategic nonviolent direct action.

​

Justice is at the heart of all the climate change organizing that I do!
