Claire Bransky

I am a facilitator and organizer grateful to live in Ojibwe and Dakota territories in Duluth, MN. I have over ten years of experience in social movements, especially for water defense, anti-imperialism, Indigenous sovereignty, and immigration justice.

 

My work is deeply informed by transformative justice, abolition, disability justice, and internationalist solidarity. My most impactful teachers have been Guatemalan revolutionaries, Black feminists, rural organizers, and every survivor I've ever met.

​

I am drawn to conflict because it highlights our deepest needs, dreams, hurts, and beliefs. To build effective political coalitions, survive climate chaos, and peacefully coexist without a militarized state, we need to collectively improve our conflict skills. I seek to transform tough situations while supporting my clients to practice their integrity and interdependence for the long haul.

​

I am white, Jewish, queer, and I use they/them pronouns. You can find me biking, reading science fiction, growing sunflowers, and sitting on the shores of Lake Superior.
