Vocation: Founder & CEO, Environmental Voter Project, a non-partisan non-profit mobilizing non-voting environmentalists. Conundrum: Polls show voters rank environmental issues among their lowest concerns, but that millions of Americans strongly prioritize environmental policies. Mission: To get more environmentalists to vote. Inspiration: “My daughter. When she was born, I realized it wasn’t enough for me to complain about political inaction in the face of climate change; I had to do something about it.”
