Jerome Ringo has placed himself at the forefront of environmental and social change.

With over 20 years of working at a petrochemical plant and seeing first-hand the adverse effects it had on our environment and population, he chose another way. As a result of Jerome’s emerging awareness  to the effects of the petrochemical industries detrimental attributes, he began to organize community/environmental justice groups and in doing so was able to aid the environment and local communities simultaneously.

Jerome’s ability to organize business, labor, and environmental leaders has greatly enhanced the environmental and social justice movement.
