According to her website, she has helped lead initiatives to fight environmental racism and injustice, to promote healthy communities, to strengthen local green economies, and to revitalize democracy. She has helped win victories in campaign finance reform, racially just redistricting, green jobs, and the cleanup of incinerators, coal plants, and toxic threats.
