Before MCAN Ezra worked at Maine Youth for Climate Justice (MYCJ), which drove home the important connection between climate and social justice. Ezra recognizes protecting the climate must also mean challenging and overcoming unjust and unsustainable hierarchies such as colonization and capitalism. At MYCJ, Ezra supported tribal sovereignty legislation, offshore wind education and legislation, MainePERS divestment implementation, the Pine Tree Amendment, a consumer-owned utility in Maine, funding climate education in public schools, and tracking Maine Public Utilities Commission dockets.

At MCAN, he is excited to continue much of this work and strive towards further climate justice goals and new alliances. Ezra also serves on Sierra Club Maine’s Executive Committee and Bar Harbor’s Climate Emergency Task Force. He believes it is past time for everyday people to take back the power that has been concentrated for far too long in the hands of the few. We know the status quo is not working, so let’s be uncompromising and bold about the future we know we can create!
