Introducing the 2025 Grist 50 list

Climate solutions are more important now than ever. Read about 50 leaders shaping the future of climate progress.

Since 2016, Grist has been publishing its Grist 50 list, highlighting real people doing real work in the climate world. I think it's worth noting that these leaders span multiple sectors, including food, technology, and the arts.

🎉 HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR POLICY DIRECTOR, Juliana Pino! Last week, she was named one of #Grist50 fixers! Her work as our Policy Director pushes for #EJCommunities to be a part of policy negotiations. She's such a FIERCE #EJWarrior and we're so proud to have her on our team! ✨🎉 "She’s organizing to change those laws and ensure that the people harmed by pollution are the ones coming up with the solutions. As a lead negotiator during the drafting of the Illinois Future Energy Jobs Act, which passed last year, Pino worked to create a caucus within deliberations... The rule includes $750 million for wind and solar programs focused on low-income households, along with a jobs-training program for 2,000 people who are alumni of the foster care system or have a criminal record.” (at Little Village Environmental Justice Organization (LVEJO))

It ain't the most profound quote, but humbled and honored to be featured in Grist's Top 50 Fixers for 2017. This is a collective recognition of the organizing communities I've been blessed to call family. Check out the whole feature and the rest of the #Grist50 (link in my bio).
