Born and raised in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, Stephanie moved to Madison, Wisconsin, in 2015. Awareness of the interaction of systems of oppression led her to embrace climate justice activism and found the Memorial High School Green Club, which helped organize the 2019 Madison Climate Strike. Stephanie was subsequently invited to join the Wisconsin Governor’s Task Force on Climate Change. Stephanie now works as the Madison Community Organizer for Voces de la Frontera, an organization committed to intersectional understanding and environmental justice. We are excited to have Stephanie serving as a member of the 350 Wisconsin Board.
We look forward to seeing you on May 6!
