May Boeve, co-founder and executive director of the green group 350.org, plans to step down from her position later this year, she announced.
Boeve, who was a college student in 2008 when she and several friends founded the organization with climate activist Bill McKibben, has been the group’s leader for more than a decade.
“After a tremendous 13 years at the helm of 350.org, the time has come for me to hand over the reins to new leadership,” Boeve announced last week.
“I will stay on at 350.org until the end of September 2024, when I will head to Michigan to get out the vote for Biden, and help my home country get the leadership it needs — for ourselves, and for the sake of our planet,” she posted on the social media site X.
