My friend told me about her involvement with Conservation Law Foundation. When she introduced me to Tom Irwin, Vice President of New Hampshire, I was impressed with the range of work that CLF did and how it centered its work around climate and environmental justice. 

I was inspired to donate and join the New Hampshire State Advisory Board because I had a clear sense of where the funding was going, especially in places such as Manchester, where CLF has staff on the ground working to ensure that every resident and family can live in a safe and healthy community. I knew that I could make a difference here. 

As a parent, I worry what our plant will be like for future generations. I appreciate that CLF also shares that concern coupled with the view that we can’t give into despair because distress drives inaction. CLF uses this idea to take on tough challenges like holding Big Oil accountable. 

With my fellow board members, CLF advocates, and the community, I hope to raise awareness and increase engagement on climate and environmental justice issues, leading to solutions that are impactful, equitable, and inclusive for every person living in New Hampshire.
