Laura Deehan has been the State Director for Environment California since 2021. Environment California is particularly focused on areas that have widespread support as well as areas where it can activate Californians to effectively take a stand. She makes it clear that there are serious issues to address such as air quality, water pollution, the big impacts of climate change but also notes that California is a leader in solving problems and that the public is engaged and aware and that there is lot of support for solutions – like investing in clean energy and electric vehicles.
