Elizabeth Shillue’s dedication to anti-oppression work arises from her Quaker faith, professional background, and experience out on the streets during the Aug 12th Unite the Right Rally in Charlottesville. Elizabeth’s entire work life has been with people who’ve been marginalized; first as a Social Worker and then as an activist and community organizer, working predominately within interracial circles. She has a BA in English, a Masters in Social Work (MSW) from Arizona State University, and is certified as a meditation teacher.
