Michelle Xie (she/her) is a community organizer and sociology undergraduate, who lives and learns on the stolen homelands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples. She is passionate about creating anti-oppressive spaces that are grounded in principles of disability justice, community care, and abolitionist praxis. As the UBC Climate Hub’s Climate Resilience Lead, Michelle co-develops educational resources and programming to build collective capacity and cross-movement solidarity around responding to the climate crisis. Michelle is also a coordinator with Climate Justice UBC, workshop facilitator at the Climate Justice Organizing HUB, and creator of the Water Damaged Paper Anthology — an independent community-centred publication that celebrates the work of young justice-oriented creatives. Through and beyond these roles, she is committed to fostering opportunities for engagements in personal and systemic transformation, particularly in ways that tend to the wounds of injustices and move us towards collective liberation.
