Annie
grew up on lək̓ʷəŋən and W̱SÁNEĆ homelands in so-called Canada, and got involved in organizing in her teens, with groups like Food Not Bombs, No One Is Illegal, a local free school, and local Indigenous nations-led land defense campaigns. Her perspective has been shaped by Environmental Justice, Anti-Racism and Indigenous Solidarity, as taught by Indigenous, Black and Brown women, non-binary and trans people and Two-Spirit people. She also organized queer dance parties, was part of a bicycle burlesque troupe, worked with youth in a youth detention facility, was a human rights advocate, lived up north at Unist’ot’en Village, and worked against sexualized and gender-based violence. In 2013, Annie attended the Anne Braden Program where she also danced at the Lusty Lady, worked with the California Coalition for Women Prisoners and Californians United for a Responsible Budget. She participated on the Leadership team of the Braden Program again in 2015 and was a co-coordinator with the Bay Area Solidarity Action Team (BASAT), and was one of the J20 Resisters. She then joined the coordinating committee of the Anti Police-Terror Project, Save the West Berkeley Shellmound, the Wet’suwet’en Solidarity Front Bay Area and the Indigenous People’s Day 5 Solidarity Coalition and is a grassroots fundraiser for several frontlines. She is part of the core team of East Bay Families for Ceasefire, organizing families for a Free Palestine. Annie lives in Oakland (Huichin) on the homelands of the Ohlone people, with her partner and their two small children. No Justice, No Peace!
