Mustafa Santiago Ali is one of America’s leading voices on environmental justice. Since becoming a founding member of the EPA’s Office of Environmental Justice as a student, he went on to serve 24 years at the agency, followed by the Hip Hop Caucus, and is now the Vice President of Environmental Justice, Climate, and Community Revitalization for the National Wildlife Federation.
