Jack Jordan (they/them) is a disabled, queer, non-binary, Black Puerto Rican.

Jack has been involved in South Florida activism for over ten years, since their early teens. Jack’s focus is on queer/ trans liberation, healthy relationships, inclusive and accessible spaces, risk-aware safer sex, and youth empowerment. Jack has become well known for their visibility, nuance, and bold outspokenness around injustice. Jack has utilized their art and graphic design to support multiple community initiatives, organizations, and fundraising efforts.

Jack has also put in countless hours of local community organizing and leadership through their involvement with Miami’s Transgender Day of Remembrance & Resilience (TDORR) event since 2013. As a speaker at TDORR in 2013, Jack courageously shared their own personal experience coming to terms with their identity as a transgender young person. As a member of the TDORR planning committee from 2015-2022, Jack has assisted with the direct creation of programming, speaker/performer recruitment, and in bringing in youth-centered ideas and energy to the planning process. Jack also participated in ChangeMakers (a summer program at an LGBTQ organization), and then became a facilitator of the program the following summer, when they crafted and implemented an entirely new curriculum for the nine-week program. In addition to leading sessions, they redesigned the program so that it became youth-led and youth organized, and offered paid positions for youth for the first time in program history.

Jack is informed, engaged, and visible around many social justice issues, and they offer not only their whole self to training spaces, but also a vast understanding around the complexities of safer sex, race, ability, class, gender, and orientation.
