Dominique helps Black communities use an Afrofuturist Black Feminist Ecological praxis to build power in environmental justice.

Dominique Thomas is a grassroots organizer, Afrofuturist, trainer and researcher based in Harlem, New York. Dominique's theory of change is creating the material conditions for Black communities to build power across all levels and strategize to imagine and create worlds for her community outside of all systems of oppression. This is accomplished by awakening an organizing orientation to inspire and empower Black people to construct their own Afrofuture rooted in abolition and Black Feminist Thought. Dominique's current work focuses on training organizers to use different evidence based insights to be more effective at building transformational relationships and developing just + equitable campaigns. Dominique believes relationships are essential to successful base-building and being strategic requires organizing from the intersections of climate and other social movements. In her free time, Dominique enjoys reading Black feminist writings + Octavia Butler, running along the Hudson River and cooking vegan meals.
