Undergraduate Student and UC Carbon Neutrality Initiative Fellow

Environmentalists of Color Collective at UCLA

Emma Finn (she/her/hers) is a fourth-year Geography/Environmental Studies major and Public Affairs minor at UCLA. She identifies as a social justice warrior, and considers sustainability a lifestyle. As a student engagement fellow for the UC-wide Carbon Neutrality Initiative, she wanted to use her resources to re-center and reframe the conversation around sustainability within UCLA’s campus community and create a platform that amplifies the environmental narratives of BIPOC (black, indigenous, people of color) identities. After various conversations with like-minded students, she brought together the Environmentalists of Color Collective at UCLA to make her vision a reality. Emma is also an avid foodie, backpacker, and curly-haired womxn who loves to cook. Her favorite food group is ice cream.

Environmentalists of Color Collective at UCLA

The Environmentalists of Color Collective at UCLA was brought together as a means of challenging the white-dominated conventions of the contemporary environmentalism movement by promoting and co-creating a healing space for marginalized identities to unpack, discuss, and organize for diversity and inclusivity within the mainstream environmentalism movement.
