Michael Cortes

Regional Campaign Manager @Greenlight America

Atlanta, GA, US

As Regional Campaign Manager for Greenlight America, I lead clean energy advocacy campaigns across the Southeastern United States, working to hold utilities accountable and push for bold, local climate solutions. My role focuses on building and executing strategic campaign plans tailored to the political and regulatory landscapes of key states and cities. I collaborate with grassroots organizations, clean energy advocates, and local stakeholders to mobilize public support, elevate community voices, and influence decision-makers. I also provide policy guidance, support coalition development, and coordinate public education and pressure campaigns aimed at accelerating the transition to affordable, renewable energy. My work centers equity and environmental justice while delivering real, measurable wins for communities on the front lines of the climate crisis.
