Welcome
Hi I'm Tate Williams, a writer and editor doing a mix of journalism and consulting for nonprofits.
I write about climate change, cities, social movements, and other topics. My work has appeared in publications such as TIME Magazine, The Atlantic, Boston Magazine, The Magazine, American Forests Magazine, Curbed, Mental Floss, the Worcester Telegram, the East Bay Express, the Arizona Daily Star, and the East Valley Tribune. I previously served as news editor at Inside Philanthropy, where I managed a team of writers and edited the publication’s news, features, and opinions. Prior to that, I covered climate change and the environment for the site.
You can read and subscribe to my email newsletter, Crisis Palace, which is mostly about climate change but also other stuff. I’m currently adapting it into book form.
I’m available for a number of services, including op-eds, ghostwriting, blogging, research reports, website and email copy, media releases, grant proposals, and fundraising strategy and materials. I’m good. Past clients include the Barr Foundation, The Solutions Project, Global Grassroots Justice Alliance, Pesticide Action Network, LivableStreets Alliance, and the David Bohnett Foundation.
I’m currently a board member at the Institute for Anarchist Studies, and an organizer with the mutual aid collectives Community Care Tucson and Agua Para el Pueblo. I live in sunny Tucson, Arizona with my wife Jamie and our cat Knives.
