Elspeth Gilmore

July 15, 2025

Elspeth Gilmore has been organizing for racial and economic justice for the past 20 years. She is currently building the work of the Trust Web, a collective that came into being as part of Elspeth’s intention to “give back” her financial inheritance.  Now, 7 years in, after redistributing 7 millions dollars,  the Trust Web is focused on “transforming money, power and ourselves through deep relationships, moving money, and practicing new ways of being.” Elspeth has been on a parallel journey of reparative ancestry, working with white people and in multiracial groups to explore healing and repair related to US slavery, and she was the associate producer of the new documentary Acts of Reparation. A longtime member, Elspeth served as the Executive Director of Resource Generation, ushering in the current mission to organize transformative leaders for the equitable distribution of wealth, land, and power. Elspeth is a queer visual artist, currently deep in an epic hand quilting project. She is a graduate of Earlham College and lives in New York City where she grew up.
