Valerie Baron L’12, Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), Washington, DC

February 03, 2017

I work to defend our bedrock environmental laws that protect public health and environment, as well as to make our food system, just, healthy, and safe for all. As an Equal Justice Works Law Fellow sponsored by the Animal Welfare Trust I focus on factory farms, which endanger communities and cause animal suffering. Recently, the bedrock environmental laws that lawyers and other advocates have relied upon to advance public health and animal welfare have come under threat. I have joined with others at the Natural Resources Defense Council to stand up for the environment, public health, communities, and the laws and regulations that protect us.
