JP_Arellano

JP is a communications strategist and grassroots organizer rooted in movements that challenge colonial-capitalist systems. With a master’s in Degrowth and years of experience shaping stories that drive change, they’ve supported campaigns worldwide—from resisting extractive industries to rethinking how economies work. They started the resource hub explore.degrowth.net (now a commons) and have helped grow networks pushing for transformative change.

At REAL, they focus on external comms, community-driven campaigns, and strategy. For them, degrowth isn’t a policy tweak—it’s about reclaiming power, delinking from the empire, breaking down oppressive structures, and creating spaces where everyone (human and beyond) can thrive together.
