In Chicago, she co-founded, a “radical feminist dance troupe dedicated to challenging the white supremacist capitalist patriarchal empire one street dance party at a time.” National Public Radio covered in June 2007, crediting the group with re-inventing the "art of the protest." With Josh MacPhee, she co-curated Signs of Change, which is "a visual introduction to the past 50 years of social movements from around the globe." Justseeds calls the book a "groundbreaking work" that "illustrates the extraordinary aesthetic range of radical movements during the past fifty years." Greenwald died on January 9, 2012 at her home in Brooklyn at age 40 from cancer.
