She leads the strategy to develop holistic, place-based litigation to protect health and limit new greenhouse gas and other pollution by challenging the aggressive oil and gas buildout. The Fossil Fuels Program partners with communities in Louisiana, Texas and the Ohio River Valley.

Prior to joining Earthjustice, Adrienne led the legal team at California-based environmental health and justice organization, Communities for a Better Environment. While there, she helped secure the nation’s first refinery flare-control regulation to reign in air pollution from oil refineries and played a leading role in blocking Chevron’s proposed refinery expansion project at its Richmond, California refinery. Later, Adrienne consulted with groups and foundations providing research, strategy and policy related to climate justice.
