Raul Garcia
Vice President of Policy & Legislation, Earthjustice, Earthjustice
García is an environmental advocate who understands that environmental justice is not a cause but a constitutional obligation. He connects the urgency of climate action to the institutional frameworks that make change permanent — translating community-level environmental harm into federal policy through legislative advocacy, agency engagement, and coalition building. His promotion to VP reflects over a decade of trusted leadership at the intersection of environmental law and social justice.
Narrativa
Raúl García lleva al ecosistema la disciplina jurídica de Earthjustice: un defensor ambiental que ha ascendido de asesor legislativo a Vicepresidente de Política y Legislación en la principal organización de derecho ambiental del país. Lidera un equipo de defensores que trabaja con el Congreso, las agencias federales y la Casa Blanca para avanzar los temas de política pública más consecuentes en torno al clima, la salud ambiental y la biodiversidad, centrando las voces de las comunidades de primera línea en cada campaña.
García operates from a conviction that environmental protection and social justice are the same fight. His career trajectory — from civil rights and immigration advocacy to leading Earthjustice's federal policy operation — reflects a belief that the communities most harmed by environmental degradation are the same communities most excluded from the political process that allows it.
