Em Carl (they/them) is a queer trans disabled white settler living in Animikii-wiikwedong, or so-called Thunder Bay. Em has been working as an overdose responder, harm reduction advocate, and facilitator, and recently has moved into research. While supporting people through frontline work during the pandemic, they have witnessed how access to shelter has been limited, non-existent and destroyed. Em&#x27;s practices are rooted in anti-colonial and anti-racist principles and they are critical of systems that ostensibly provide resources.

Kyla relentlessly resists a diversity of injustices towards themselves and their communities including consumerism, slavery economics, colonialism, imperialism, fascism, patriarchy, misogynoir, transphobia, classism and environmental racism. They have no time for disrespect.
