Alexis Vida Rangel

Vida is a queer Latiné nonbinary trans woman. As a community organizer and policy professional, Vida’s passion is helping radical progressive movements achieve structural change that liberates marginalized communities. To that end, Vida has organized around the country in areas spanning the political spectrum, and served in legislative offices at the federal, state, county, and city levels. She got her start as a college organizer in small-town Texas working toward inclusive campus policies and against anti-queer & anti-trans legislation in the Texas legislature. Vida is currently the chair of her union, NCTE United, and works as Policy Counsel at the National Center for Transgender Equality, where she builds collaborative relationships with advocates, decision makers, and issue experts to build a society where all trans people can thrive.
