Emi Yoko-Young

Emi joined the Reclaim Our Power: Utility Justice Campaign as the Policy Organizer in February 2024. She brings to the campaign over a decade of experience working at the intersection of policy and people in movement organizing spaces. Emi sees her role as bridging the divide between the needs that communities have expressed and the technical resources and policy practitioners in the environmental, health equity, and racial justice space. She believes that only in coalition and with the elevation of everybody’s strengths can we build the solutions that lead to a safe, affordable, and reliable energy future. She believes that movement building is what will change our culture and bring us collective liberation.
