Elizabeth Mount is a UU minister now settled at the UU Church of Cheyenne, WY. As a lifelong UU, Rev.

Prior to entering seminary, they were an organizer with environmental and Latinx community projects in Western North Carolina, the Appalachian coal fields, and the highlands of Guatemala. They currently participate in work on climate change, anti-racism, and disaster relief within and beyond Unitarian Universalism. Rev. Elizabeth’s additional interests include “rereading all of Octavia Butler’s novels, hiking, drinking tea while savoring Becky Chambers' Monk and Robot series, weaving, playing Ingress, and climbing rocks, trees…and the occasional bridge.”
