OUR TEAM
Our team of community organizers have decades of experience helping communities fight against environmental threats.
Slingshot uses a horizontal organizational structure. We make decisions collectively through consensus-building, and seek to build a culture that is intentionally inclusive and democratic. We strive for a staff community grounded in deep trust, love, and liberation within our organization and within the movement.

The organizers of Slingshot provided us with the resources and many relationships to make our situation not just a local fight, but a coordinated effort with pipeline fighters throughout the state.
