Russell V. Randle

DC Appleseed recognizes that environmental conditions shape residents’ health, economic opportunity, and quality of life. Longstanding inequities leave communities facing systemic barriers disproportionately exposed to pollution, climate change, and underinvestment. Protecting the District’s natural resources strengthens public health, builds community resilience, and supports equitable economic growth. Local control over environmental policy is essential to democratic accountability and responsive solutions. Miles & Stockbridge's Russ Randle will be honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the event.
