Genevieve joined the Alliance staff in November, 2024. She focuses her work at the intersection of communications and social justice, supporting communities organizing for collective liberation through the development of creative narrative strategies.
Originally from Saint Paul, she is a white, queer, radical visual artist, graphic designer, and filmmaker. She directed the award-winning documentary film Las Chunta and has illustrated several books. For nearly a decade, she worked with indigenous collectives in Chiapas, Mexico and Central America, facilitating popular education workshops and building regional community film and radio networks. After returning to live in the US, she led organizing teams combatting wage theft against undocumented laborers, building tenant unions, and helping pass rent stabilization in Saint Paul. She was part of the Flats to the Future campaign, weaving together storytelling, research, basebuilding, and advocacy to demand justice for those forcibly displaced from Saint Paul’s West Side due to inequitable industrial development.
Her commitment to racial, economic, and environmental justice in the Twin Cities is also personal: as a neighbor raising a multiracial family in South Minneapolis, she wants to see a future where everyone has safe and affordable housing, access to public transit and a healthy environment, and the resources to thrive.
She is thrilled to join The Alliance’s work and looks forward to integrating strong communications strategies into all of our campaigns. Genevieve can be reached at genevieve@thealliancetc.org
