Kerry Guerin

Kerry is the Richmond Staff Attorney at Communities for a Better Environment. CBE works in four communities in California and combines community organizing, science and policy research, and legal advocacy to advance its resident members' vision for environmental justice. The goal of CBE's work in Richmond is to secure a Just Transition so that the city can rid itself of a century of environmental and political pollution from oil refining and be reshaped in a community-driven way to address health impacts, diversify and decarbonize the economy, and lead in the ongoing energy transition. Since joining CBE, Kerry was part of the effort that secured a $550 million settlement from the local oil refiner to achieve those goals. Kerry received her JD from Stanford, an MSc from Oxford and a BA from Georgetown.
