Rebecca Woodward is a professional in public health/health research. She has been a community organizer in a local climate group for about the past 7 years. She does nature photography as a hobby. In her climate group, she has been on the state leadership team, a trainer, and a public speaker.  Rebecca is interested in climate communication and organizing as well as experimenting with climate communication on social media, including videos. She has been involved in a lot of campaigns over the years, such as passing local initiatives in her town to set emissions reduction targets. At the state level, she supported a variety of actions such as opposition to a local gas compressor station, state legislative initiatives, drawing attention to the harm of natural gas & gas leaks, etc. She also does a lot to support allies, including organizing to stand in solidarity with youth for the Boston Climate Strike in 2019, which is what led to the awards ceremony participation. Rebecca says that in local communities, people work together to form collective power to press for those changes with their local governments. Her personal initiatives such as encouraging people to be #louderandbraver in their efforts, trying to help more people understand #globalclimatejustice, helping create spaces for #climategrief, seeing that #climateaction comes from love, has really helped out in making people aware of these climate issues.
