Dawnielle Castledine, EcoNews Writer/Editor, Community (website/social media) Manager, and Partnership/Advertising Coordinator
Dawnielle began with the Austin EcoNetwork as an intern in 2010, and became an employee in 2011. She activates around issues of social/environmental justice and public space (also known as the commons). She is a librarian at the Sherwood Forest Zine Library, and a host on F.EM.radio- the first project of the Feminist Media Collective which she co-founded. Her dreams consist of cooperatively run coffee shops, decentralized government, lush forests, sail boats, and lots of places to curl up with a book and her computer. Look for her often cynical and sometimes humorous blog articles here and here.
