Agents of Change in Environmental Justice
Role: Assistant Director
This program’s vision is to foster a new cadre of diverse and inclusive leaders in environmental justice who can help create systemic change by integrating the best available science and technology with the intergenerational knowledge of communities who have been disproportionately harmed by environmental degradation and historically excluded from decision-making because of racism, classism, and other systems of oppression.
Collaborators: Columbia University [Ami Zota (Program Director), Yoshira Ornelas Van Horne, Lariah Edwards, Laila Gad, Samar Ahmad], Environmental Health News [Brian Bienkowski, María Paula Rubiano], Natural Resources Defense Council [Veena Singla].
