Revelations on Justice and Next Generation Environmentalism
July 28, 2021 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Please join the Environmental Law Center for an upcoming event next Wednesday, July 28 from 12-1 p.m., featuring Tamara Toles O’Laughlin JD/MELP’09, an advocate for people and planet and a VLS alumna.
Tamara Toles O’Laughlin is an environmentalist focused on equity, access, and community. She develops capacity-building programs and creates multimedia campaigns to dismantle privilege and increase opportunities for vulnerable populations to access healthy air, clean energy, and a toxic free economy at the local, regional, and national level.
O’Laughlin casts a wide net in service to the environmental community. Most recently she joined the Environmental Grantmakers Association (EGA) as its CEO and President. EGA represents over 200 foundations globally, holding approximately $200 billion in assets and giving more than $1.8 billion annually to environmental causes. Previously she served as the North America Director at 350.org and 350 Action as the leader of programming. At 350 she drove mission critical work and organizational investments to build a multiracial, multi-generational climate movement that is capable of holding leaders accountable to science and justice.
