  • EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan
  • Mothers Out Front’s Bobby Monacella
  • Moms Clean Air Force’s Julie Kimmel
  • Superintendent of Fairfax County Public Schools Scott Brabrand
  • Eddie Felber, 5th grader with Flint Hill Elementary School’s Green Team
  • Anika Gupta, president of Madison High School’s Mad Climate Leaders Club
  • Lena Mudrick, 6th grader with Flint Hill Elementary School’s Green Team

WHEN: The event was held yesterday, Monday March 14, 2022, 10:00 AM–11:15 AM ET.
