Alice Tianyi Liu is a Houston-based writer and organizer working in disaster recovery and climate justice. She is a queer, 24-year- old Chinese-American who is fueled by hope and rage that we must reshape our economy and political system to be oriented towards life and care instead of extraction and death. She grew up in Dallas, TXexas where she loved the open skies and dry summer heat but hated how far she was from the ocean. She is currently Co-Director of Communications at West Street Recovery, a grassroots organization formed during Hurricane Harvey using the disaster recovery process to build power in the predominantly Black, Brown, and low-income neighborhoods of Northeast Houston. She also organizes with the Gulf South for Green New Deal formation, towards a vision of a Gulf South that is able to fight back against deadly fossil fuel industries and offer a model of power building, racial liberation and frontline leadership. She has been published in Grist and The Hill.
