Anthony is the father of three rooted in Philadelphia PA on Leni Lenape lands. Anthony is the Strategy Partner at Taproot Earth. He brings over a decade of experience partnering with community leaders to develop strategies that foster collective governance and advance participatory policymaking processes to dismantle structural racism within our energy, climate, and economic systems. Anthony has worked from the local to national levels, most recently growing statewide climate justice efforts in Pennsylvania. ​Prior to joining GCCLP, Anthony led the Just Community Energy Transition Project for six years. In this role, he co-created and authored multiple toolkits and movement resources, including the Energy Democracy Scorecard (in partnership with the Emerald Cities Collaborative), the People's Orientation to a Regenerative Economy (in partnership with the United Frontlines Table), Collaborating for Bold Possibilities (in partnership with the Climate Justice Alliance), Black Work Matters: Green Jobs Report (in partnership with POWER), and the co-creation of the We Power Policy Toolkit. Additionally, Anthony co-designed a variety of local and national climate justice projects. He has partnered with multiple networks and organizations to design and implement climate justice fellowship programs that support the leadership of frontline communities, and designed projects piloting accountable governance processes that move investment and shift decision-making authority to frontline communities in relation to local governments.
