Virgo

Virgo (they/them) is from a small rural SC town where they grew up watching a nearby community, where their family was from, being flooded each year. This experience led to their strong passion for natural disaster response and their deeply rooted Virgo energy drives them to help and solve problems. They have actively been doing on-the-ground disaster response for the last decade responding to hurricanes, flooding, and landslides throughout the southeast and gulf south doing things like medic work, food prep, delivery, demo, and debris cleanup. They are part of Triangle Mutual Aid, a network of people in NC who support disaster response as well as many other mutual aid projects. They are also part of Mutual Aid Disaster Relief (MADR) which is a nationwide network specifically dedicated to disaster response. They are focusing on building out infrastructure throughout NC to help build state-wide resiliency, all done through a mutual aid lens.

When not engaging in mutual aid or disaster response work, Virgo enjoys getting outdoors, chasing waterfalls, camping, and road tripping! Virgo gets much joy out of sharing space with like-minded folx and sharing knowledge with others.
