Phil Aroneanu is a first generation American. He has been working on solving the climate crisis since he was in High School in New Jersey. In, 2007 he co-founded the Step It Up campaign with a small group of students and author/activist Bill McKibben. In 2008, the group built on the success of Step It Up to launch the innovative 350.org campaign, which led to over 5200 simultaneous public events in 181 countries on October 24, 2009 in the leadup to the United Nations climate talks in Copenhagen -- in what CNN called "the most widespread day of political action in history." Since then, Phil has led national and global campaigns to push back against corporate polluters and build a massive grassroots climate movement.

Phil currently serves as US Campaign Director at 350.org
