About me
Nze Okoronta (they/them) believes the crisis is not our people or our communities, but the systems that respond to them. They are known for work surrounding non-carceral peer respites, warmlines and hotlines, harm reduction and drug user support, Mad Pride and Mad Liberation, mutual aid, and building peer-led, community-based alternatives to crisis care. They have focused their career on creating alternative pathways for people to experience distress without force or punishment, and to build true sanctuary in community.
