Declaration

I worked with the Clean Capitalist Leadership Council to craft a one-of-a-kind original piece based on the original Declaration of Independence.

The civil society declaration on energy choice was put together by a group of think tanks for signing event, and I was honored to craft this original document for the occasion.
