Nat has been involved in the struggle for trans liberation since the early 2000s beginning in the San Francisco Bay Area of California with the Trans in Prison Project of California Prison Focus, also known as TIP. TIP would become the Transgender, Gender Variant and Intersex Justice Project (TGIJP), of which Nat is a founding member. In 2005, Nat created “Bustin’ Out: Party Against the Prison Industrial Complex”, the annual fundraiser and official San Francisco Trans March afterparty still held by TGIJP today. It was through TGIJP that Nat met Miss Major and the lifelong friendship began. Nat approaches nonprofit accounting and finance from a liberatory standpoint, acknowledging that the historical and current gate keepers of this work are people who don’t look like us or come from our communities. From that vantage point, Nat works to grow the power of our organizations and movement builders so that we are our own Board Treasurers, Finance Directors, Accountants and Bookkeepers. Nat believes that our budgets must align with our values, that we must challenge capitalism and expect abundance. These are the principles that guide Nat’s work with House of GG, as a faculty member with the Transgender Strategy Center, as a facilitator with A Bookkeeping Cooperative (ABC), as well as their freelance consulting practice supporting a number of incredible organizations. Nat is the creating force behind and co-editor of the anthology Captive Genders: Transembodiment and the Prison Industrial Complex (available fromAK Press) as well as the founder and coordinator of the Mutual Aid Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, an intersectional org that specializes in ecosystem solidarity education along with the rehabilitation of injured, ill or orphaned wildlife. Nat lives in rural, unceded Haudenosaunee territory in the Finger Lakes Region of New York with their partner of twenty years, dog, 3 cats and snake and be found reading comics and graphic novels, playing the cello, supporting pollinators with native plantings and lawn removal, working their hobby dahlia farm or in the woods on their property looking at dope shit.
