Best Environmental Activist

Dave Cortez, Sierra Club

This staunch environmental activist and Occupy Austin regular is currently the heart and soul of Sierra Club's Beyond Coal Campaign in Central Texas. After successfully coordinating the Texas BlueGreen Alliance, he is now focused on shutting down the coal-fired Fayette Power Project and pushing for the adoption of strong renewable energy policies in Austin, while seeking to incorporate anti-poverty and anti-racist principles and strategies into Austin's environmental activist community.
