BIOGRAPHY

Tori Westenberg is a passionate community organizer, artist, and advocate for social justice and Queer liberation based in the Twin Cities. With a deep commitment to youth empowerment and collective healing, Tori’s work centers on helping others reclaim their voice, power, and place in the world.

A familiar face in the grassroots organizing scene, Tori engages directly with community through their outreach work with Future of Us, and volunteers regularly with LGBTQ+ organizations throughout the metro area. Whether they are leading workshops, tabling at community events, or supporting mutual aid efforts, Tori brings compassion, intersectional awareness, and radical joy to every space they enter.

Outside of organizing, Tori is a multidisciplinary artist who expresses their creativity through collage and other visual mediums. Their art, much like their activism, explores identity, memory, resilience, and collective liberation.

Driven by a desire to co-create a future where Queer and trans youth can thrive without fear, Tori is committed to building networks of care, visibility, and possibility. They believe in the transformative power of community and the importance of creating spaces where everyone is seen, affirmed, and celebrated.
