Alyssa Rae Garza

Alyssa Rae Garza is pursuing a master’s degree sociology from The University of Texas at El Paso. She assisted in research concerning water sustainability in the Southwest region during her undergraduate studies. This research led her to develop a passion for climate justice and learn from local grassroots coalitions and movements. As an Archer Fellow, she hopes to apply sociological frameworks in a physical capacity, amplify her community’s story, and gain knowledge from the internship. After graduating, she plans to enter the community organizing sector and focus on contributing to the movement for climate justice, racial equity, and transformation change.
