“Fear to the side, power to the front” is Valencia’s motto when it comes to queer ecology activists fighting the climate crisis in Florida. Estimates say 60% of Miami will be underwater by 2060. This “don’t say gay” state is shaped by natural and political storms: climate gentrification and displacement; natural disasters that disproportionately affect oppressed communities based on race, class, and gender; political disasters with anti-abortion and ani-trans bills; permitless concealed carry laws; and white patriarchal corporate power that militarizes the police.

In the face of all of this, queer and trans ecology activists are courageously imagining a better future and tackling the issues head-on through mutual aid, building queer communities, and standing up to corporations and bad politics. Follow these inspirational activists as they tour the state, meet with mutual aid providers to uncover the challenges of each area, and learn about the passionate work being done to combat them. Because, after all, "we don't inherit the earth from our ancestors but we borrow it from our children."
