About Danait Issac

Danait is a passionate advocate for environmental justice, dedicated to creating a sustainable and just future for Black and Brown communities. As a Metro Atlanta native and the daughter of Eritrean immigrants, she has a deep understanding of the racial inequities and health disparities faced by communities of color. With an extensive background in student organizing and community building within environmental justice spaces, her experiences at The Nature Conservancy, The Greenlining Institute, and as a Doris Duke Conservation Scholar have reinforced her commitment to diversifying the environmental field to be more inclusive of BIPOC communities. As the Community Manager at GPE, she oversees a membership of over 600+ members nationwide, managing events and the community hub to keep Black and brown women connected and thriving in the fight for climate justice, believing that collective healing and liberation can come from building community!
