Eva Dickerson
Starseed eva and political organizer (they/themme/baby girl) believes in a freer, greener future and is on a journey alongside their world-expanding friends to get there.. Much of their organizing in the city is concentrated within the Ashview Heights, Vine City, West End, Bush Mountain, and now Gresham Park neighborhoods where their abolitionist ideology comes to life by way of childcare collectives, neighborhood farmers markets, community gardens, popular education campaigns, and earth based projects. When they’re not organizing against GILEE, the carceral infrastructure of Atlanta, or the city’s lecherous leadership, they’re probably riding their bike or stealing flowers from a gentrifier’s garden. When Eva is not in Atlanta, they are spending time nurturing their communities across the Caribbean and Southeast Asia, using their network building skills to build hyper local-global networks of care they believe will help us prepare and adapt to global climate collapse.
The apple of their eye is the city of Atlanta, where they live, work, play, and experiment with the people in the city about how we might practice a more compassionate way of being together.
