Accomplishments
Devon worked with Renew Oregon since its inception, helping build it up into the advocacy powerhouse it is today with over 1,000 coalition members from businesses and farms, to non-profits, faith and community organizations.
In 2016, Devon worked with Renew to pass the Clean Electricity and Coal Transition Act, a landmark law that transitions Oregon’s electricity grid off of polluting coal-fired power while simultaneously doubling the state’s commitment to clean electricity.
In 2017, Devon helped Renew protect the state’s Clean Fuels Standard, a law that decreases pollution from Oregon’s transportation sector.
In 2018 and 2019, Devon worked on Renew Oregon’s effort to pass the Clean Energy Jobs bill. She led the campaign’s statewide opinion piece strategy, facilitating the placement of over 70 opinion pieces in support of the bill in papers across the state. Authors range from doctors and tribal members, to equity advocates, business leaders, local workers, fisherman and local elected officials.
