Community Organiser's Living Room Sep 2025

Connecting with other organisers helps us to share experiences and see where we can learn and build power together.

This event is a space to meet other organisers, discuss triumphs, and dissect challenges that are coming up for us. We will also spend time brainstorming how we can support each other, and how Act Build Change can support members in the issues they are facing.

Meet the facilitators

Ariel Lew Ai Le Whitson has over a decade of experience as a community organiser focused on social justice issues, primarily with environmental and land justice. Before joining Act Build Change, she was the Senior Director of Community Organising and Education at TreePeople, a leading Los Angeles-based NGO, where she led a team of 40 organisers and educators supporting communities impacted by climate change and environmental injustice. Prior to TreePeople, she ran major advocacy campaigns at Ten Strands, securing significant legislative and funding victories for climate literacy. Ariel is passionate about healing the violent separation of land and people through organising.
