Kerry Bowie grew up in Alabama, right alongside a Monsanto plant. He was from what in policy vernacular would be considered a "fenceline community," bearing the brunt of industrial pollution, though he didn't think of his hometown community like that. Since then, he's worked at the nexus of social, economic, and environmental justice for more than 20 years, and is now the Executive Director of Browning the Green Space, an organization whose goal is to advance Diversity, Equity & Inclusion within the climate tech industry in New England. We're long overdue for a focused conversation on equity in the context of climate action, and we're super grateful to Kerry for taking the time to speak with us.
