Nia Robinson

At 26 years old, Nia Robinson made the transition from former Climate Justice Corps and Steering Committee member to director of the Environmental Justice and Climate Change Initiative. This transition from young concerned citizen to the helm of EJCC speaks truth to the power behind what EJCC sees as its core work, which is to educate and activate a new generation of Climate Justice activists. Robinson continues to move forward from union rallies and picket lines to Capitol Hill with a strong commitment and passion for organizing, as she did with both workers as an SEIU organizer and with community members working for environmental justice in her hometown of  Detroit, Michigan.
