Shlomo Pesach (they/them) is a community organizer devoted to cultivating flourishing queer futures . Shlomo lives as a white settler on Chochenyo Ohlone Land , and traces their ancestry from diasporic Ashkenazi Jewish peoples immigrating from Romania and Poland . They are neurodivergent , working-class , chronically ill and transgender , with citizenship and education privilege . Shlomo believes in land-based communities of practice as critical ecological and political technology in the context of climate injustice — in the face of histories of white supremacist colonialism and ableist cisheteropatriarchy , Shlomo is romanced with a vision of liberation that places people back in their bodies , back in relationship , and back in the landscape . To this end , Shlomo’s offerings in the world take the form of queer youth mentorship , council facilitation , Jewish chaplaincy , and somatic coaching — they are a ritualist with experience holding space for individuals , partners , and groups . They are a song-leader and organizer with the Thrive Street Choir , a direct action community of singers that believes music is a powerful force which mobilizes change , builds community , and strengthens a sense of resilience . They are a co-visionary and collaborator of the Queer Ecologies Cohort , a seasonal cohort of LGBTQ2SIA+ and QTBIPOC farmers,  ecologists , artists , and organizers gathering in study of queer-centered ecology and land-based practices . Shlomo is an apprentice of bird-language , the tarot , and challah baking .
