Natalie’s bio:
Natalie was introduced to the power of grassroots organizing after attending the Power Shift conference in 2007. She realized that as a new graduate with an environmental degree it wasn’t enough to know why climate change was the greatest threat to human civilization; she needed to organize to combat it. She received training in grassroots organizing and political advocacy from Wellstone Action. As a grassroots organizer, she developed, led and implemented campaigns with communities, to work with the local, state and federal government on coal fired power plants, climate legislation, and clean energy. Natalie graduated from the University of Maryland with a degree in Environmental Science and Policy and received her Masters in Strategic Leadership towards Sustainability, from the Blekinge Institute of Technology in Karlskrona Sweden. She was the dirty fuels lobbyist for the national Sierra Club from 2015 until July of 2019, fighting the expansion of oil, gas, and pipelines and working to protect public lands. Today, as the U.S. policy director of 350.org, she works to influence our federal government to phase out fossil fuels and justly transition to an economy run by 100 percent clean and renewable energy.
