Gloria J. Lowe is the Founder and Acting Executive Director of We Want Green, Too.
We Want Green, Too is a frontline and community-led organization dedicated to creating an inclusive, safe, sustainable, and energy-efficient community space to serve veterans and Detroit’s East Side. Gloria became involved in climate and environmental work in 2001 when she realized how crucial re-educating and community outreach are in fighting systemic racism. Facing gentrification, economic divestment, and environmental devastation, the Detroit community desires the same quality of health, safety, and economic development shared by communities that are self-sufficient and self-determined. In a time of electoral upheaval, We Want Green, Too has won a $1M HUD award and is part of an $8M agreement with DTE Energy.
