We congratulate Ana Unruh Cohen and Alison Cassady on their new posts, and we are confident this excellent staff leadership team will work with the members of the Select Committee to shine a badly-needed spotlight on the true costs of climate inaction and the solutions that will provide for cleaner, healthier communities in a more just and equitable way.”
