Biography

Born and raised in rural India, Prachi was raised by a freedom-fighter grandmother and parents deeply involved in anti-caste, feminist, and peasant movements. Over two decades in New York City, she has been an activist, educator, grantmaker, and writer involved in social movements that link the local and the global, police brutality and war, migration, and militarization, race and caste, women of color feminism, and global gender justice. Prachi believes in the vital power of intersectional and international visions and strategies, which resonate across Dalit rights and Black lives, migrant justice, and gender justice, to build bottom-up change from the local to the global. Her work has been published by Al Jazeera, the Guardian, Jadaliyya, The Jacobin, and several other publications.
