Hi Everyone,

I’m Tory, one of the organizers of this space. So glad this is starting to take shape. I’m in the climate storytelling space, and manage a project at Grist Magazine called Imagine 2200: Climate Fiction for Future Ancestors.

I advocate and help publish climate fiction that focuses on building a better future. My advocate that we (society) need less dystopian narratives and instead focus on stories that imagine a better world, one that is free from colonialism, extraction, and oppression. I believe our imagination and the stories we tell are a necessary tool in our toolbox of climate solutions. If we can’t imagine a just and equitable future for all, we won’t have a just and equitable future.

I look forward to engaging with all of you and helping bring more people into this space!
