Sabrina Shih is a rising junior at Columbia University studying computer science and human rights. She is passionate about how the solutions to global existential risks are also opportunities for transformative social change through the inclusion and empowerment of marginalized communities. As a coordinator in her university’s hub of the Sunrise Movement, a youth-led, grassroots movement for climate justice and a just transition, Sabrina is committed to building a diverse movement for collective liberation. She also works in solidarity with the Indigenous student community at Columbia and volunteers with New Sanctuary Coalition, a NYC-based organization that supports those navigating the immigration system. As a Laidlaw Scholar and an intern at Columbia’s Earth Institute, she also conducts research on justice and equity in climate adaptation and mitigation measures. This summer, Sabrina will conduct policy analysis with the California Community Partnerships Program to explore a Green New Deal for Richmond, CA.
