tala is a narrative organizing studio guided by brave storytelling and joyful world-building.

Powered by over two decades of combined experience in climate justice organizing and campaigning, movement strategy, science research and communication, and arts-based interventions, our dream is to work with mission-driven collectives and creatives on storytelling campaigns that build our sense of people power and possibility. 

From designing exhibits on ethnoastronomy to leading global climate justice trainings for multicultural audiences, from scriptwriting for TV and podcasts on environmental science to leading organizing strategy for political campaigns, from building cross-country alliances to co-creating storytelling strategies with grassroots youth against fossil fuels – our life’s work is devoted to going beyond one-day headlines and fleeting virality. 

As a studio, our practice is to fuse narrative strategies with organizing so we can build online-to-offline communities, solidarity networks, and thriving movements for justice.
