Zoë Tucker-Borrut (she/her) grew up in Vancouver, BC on the traditional, ancestral, unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam Indian Band), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish Nation), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation) as a child of immigrants/settlers. She is part of the gayby boom generation and has two moms. She studied Biology and Environmental Studies at a public liberal arts college in traditional Ramapough Munsee Lenape territory (Northern New Jersey). There, she found a love for community organizing for an equitable transition towards sustainable practices and policies that ensure healthy and resilient communities under changing environmental-social-climate crisis conditions.
For the past two years, Zoë has served as a member of the U.S. Youth Action Council for the UN Ocean Decade, a program of Heirs To Our Ocean (a youth-founded and led non-profit) where she is currently interning. Zoë has passions for eco-justice, the ocean, and native landscaping. She is most at peace when she is by the ocean, recognizing that it is the lifeblood of our planet.
