San Francisco (2013)

Leading environmental activism in San Francisco

As the mere age of 18, Molly was Greenpeace’s youngest intern, where she helped create some of their most successful environmental campaigns. What began as an in-depth research presentation into oil corporations and their impact on the environment; led to the creation of a campaign against oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. This humble campaign made its way to the Obama administration, where it was later instrumental in banning drilling from the region. She was also instrumental in building the campaign against palm oil plantations in Sumatran rainforest, which led her to work with Rainforest Action Network. In addition, alongside Greenpeace and 360.org, Molly helped organize the 2013 San Francisco march and protest of the Keystone XL pipeline over the Golden Gate Bridge, which attracted thousands of participants and media attention from around the world.
