A.L. "A" McCullough (they/them) is the Executive Coordinator to the senior leadership team at Taproot Earth. Drawing from a background in landscape architecture, A works to turn the wheel of the workplace toward climate justice. Their climate awakening began when a local gas station polluted the groundwater in their childhood neighborhood. Watching their mother fight for clean water for both family and neighbors inspired them to become a climate advocate. They call Astoria, Queens home.
