Their work aims to address environmental injustice in frontline communities by empowering leaders to enact intentional, equitable change. Recognizing the scale and urgency of the moment, they emphasize connection, learning, and acting throughout their organizing and their leading of the No One is an Island coalition. Jade is guided by the principle of "they don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care" as they strive to ensure those most disenfranchised among us feel welcome in the spaces they create.
