Introducing Principal Deputy Director Tamia N. Gordon
 The question is no longer, “Should justice and equity be a part of the energy transition?” Rather, it is, “How can justice and equity be embedded in the energy system? What are the rules of engagement? What are the standards, and who should be at the table?”
Shalanda Baker would like to think that these changes in the conversation are driven by the work done at the Office of Energy Justice and Equity (EJE). During her time as Director, the office more than tripled its justice-driven staff and introduced dozens of policies and tools to help communities that have suffered under the legacy America’s fossil-energy-based energy system.
But the recent departure of Director Baker is not an end to that work. Rather, it forges a path forward for those who have been excluded from the energy system and creates opportunities where they can participate fully in the clean energy transition that benefits all Americans.
With that, please welcome Tamia N. Gordon to the EJE family as the Principal Deputy Director and Acting Director of the Office of Energy Justice and Equity.
