Javier Estevez has been appointed Political and Legislative Director at Sierra Club Florida.

Estevez has been at Sierra Club Florida since 2022, previously serving as the Operations & Legislative Coordinator, where he worked to advance the organization’s environmental advocacy efforts across the state.

“As a Florida native, I deeply understand the urgency of protecting our state’s natural environment. Now more than ever, we must unite individuals, organizations, and policymakers who share our vision for a sustainable future,” Estevez said.

“I am committed to championing the environmental issues that matter the most and contributing to Sierra Club Florida’s mission of building a better, brighter future for our state.”

In his new role, Estevez aims to build a dynamic and inclusive political program that engages with all those dedicated to protecting Florida’s environment, natural resources, and wildlife. Sierra Club Florida said his leadership will reinforce the organization’s long-standing legacy of advocacy and progress on critical environmental issues.
