They co-founded the national Trans Day of Resilience art project (tdor.co) and the Trans Life and Liberation Art Series (translifeandliberation.tumblr.com), to support and celebrate living trans people of color. As a white artist and organizer, Micah creates art as a practice of love and solidarity with trans justice and racial justice movements. They recently started working full-time with the national organization Forward Together as Artist in Residence. For the last ten years they have also worked closely with Sins Invalid, Movement Generation, and Jewish Voice for Peace.
