Jamie is a longtime friend of CCAN and stellar activist. Before joining us
full-time, Jamie worked closely with us to pass the Maryland Clean Energy Jobs
Act as campaign manager for the Maryland Clean Energy Jobs Initiative. He also
worked with Citizens Climate Lobby lobbying for carbon price legislation in
Maryland and nationwide. And he actually got his start as an advocate interning
at CCAN years ago!
Jamie graduated from Warren Wilson College where he led a successful divestment
campaign, and helped close the Asheville coal plant. Jamie grew up in Baltimore and now lives in College Park with his girlfriend
and their dog, Mila.

A sneak peak from the interview:
“I did grow up in Baltimore, and I had a lot of friends who had asthma who grew
up like in the shadow of the incinerator, and I never made those connections as
a child. It [was] just like, oh, all those friends of mine have asthma, I guess
they can’t run in gym class as much. But a lot has become more clear to me as a
grown up...
And I think the most important thing is, if someone has experienced oppression
that you have not experienced, the most that you can say to that person, in that
moment, is I believe you. I cannot fully understand what you have experienced.
But I’m not going to challenge it or argue with it, I believe you.”
