A Journey in Organizing for Environmental Justice: Tianna Arredondo

Stories for Action

Tianna Arredondo has been active in organizing for environmental justice since they were a child. Their organizing has ranged from the local community level to international, with groups such as Power Shift Network and SustainUS, where Tianna was a delegate for the UN Climate Negotiations in 2018. Tianna is currently a National Organizer for Environmental Justice at 350, an organization dedicated to advancing a clean energy future for all. Tianna’s role entails supporting local climate advocacy leaders around the country while helping to create a BIPOC led climate justice narrative in these spaces.

Tianna shares their story with us, speaking about what brought them to environmental justice organizing, the power of sharing stories and human connection, and advice for others in the climate justice space; whether you are looking for how to become involved or are already leaders within your communities.
