Rachel Jerusha Kinbar

Short bio: Rachel Jerusha Kinbar (they/zey/all) is actively engaged in building a new commons while exploring what it means to be human, heal lineage, and honor ancestors. Zey are working for collective liberation as a local community and mutual aid organizer with Central Florida Mutual Aid, Alternative Economy Fellow with the Center for Biological Diversity and Shareable, director of operations for Beautiful Trouble (and until recently as director of operations for the Jews of Color Mishpacha Project). They are also a writer, gardener, artist, half of noise/poetry duo Unfade, and co-editor of Bonk! magazine. Fun facts: Rachel holds two degrees in Jewish history (and a graduate certificate in publishing & editing), is a dual citizen of The Netherlands and the so-called U.S., lived for 11 years in Tallinn, Estonia, is married to a Belgian musician, and is parenting a teenager who plays trumpet and bass. Perhaps most importantly of all, there is a cat named Noodle.   Things you share: I'm one of the people who runs distro for Central Florida Mutual Aid, so I share emergency contraceptive, condoms, Narcan, lit, stickers, and snacks. I also share a lot of seeds and books, two important ways of fostering growth.
