BROOKE LARSEN is a writer, community organizer, and narrative strategist. She calls Salt Lake City, Utah home, ancestral land of the Goshute, Shoshone, and Ute people. She is a recipient of the High Country News Bell Prize for emerging writers. Larsen has spent the past decade—most of her adult life—organizing with the climate justice movement. She cofounded Uplift, a youth-led organization for climate justice in the Southwest, and was a youth delegate to the UN Climate Change Conference in 2016 with SustainUS. As a descendent of Mormon settlers who colonized so-called Utah, Larsen focuses much of her organizing on wealth redistribution, truth telling, and white accountability. Larsen has an MA in Environmental Humanities from the University of Utah and a BA in environmental policy from Colorado College.
