West Fox is a philosopher, artist, and civic organizer from New York City. West has lived all across the U.S. in some of the most under-resourced communities in our country. Still, West has witnessed strength, care, and resilience in the people surviving while uplifting one another. West has also had the privilege of being educated at some of the most resourced institutions in the county. It's with this dual perspective that West believes they can connect with members of the Ithacan community from all ends of the spectrum. West unabashedly fights for the rights of transgender, queer, low-income, disabled, and otherwise marginalized communities.
