Shashawnda Campbell is a community leader and activist for environmental justice. As a student at Ben Franklin High School in South Baltimore, Shashawnda co-founded “Free Your Voice,” a student led group that worked for five years to shut down the largest incinerator proposal in U.S. history, set to be built less than a mile away from their school. Shashawnda has since helped develop the South Baltimore Community Land Trust to create community-led development without displacement, permanently affordable housing, and zero waste infrastructure. A lifelong Baltimore resident, Shashawnda is committed to the implementation of Baltimore’s Fair Development Plan for Zero Waste to help lead her city through a just transition that respects our lives and our planet.
