Prior to Taproot, Anthony led the Just Community Energy Transition Project for six years. In this role, he co-facilitated and supported participatory development of multiple climate justice coalitions, alignments, and networks in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania.  He co-created and authored multiple toolkits and movement resources, including the Energy Democracy Scorecard (in partnership with the Emerald Cities Collaborative), the People’s Orientation to a Regenerative Economy (in partnership with the United Frontlines Table), Collaborating for Bold Possibilities (in partnership with the Climate Justice Alliance), Black Work Matters: Green Jobs Report (in partnership with POWER), and the co-creation of the We Power Policy Toolkit. Additionally, he has supported the design and implementation of climate justice fellowship programs that support the leadership and decision-making of frontline communities.

Anthony spent seven years at the Center for Social Inclusion (now known as Race Forward) working with grassroots leaders — particularly in the Gulf South — on strategies to achieve racial equity in US policies. 

Anthony has an MPA from New York University and a BA in Theology and Political Science from the University of Scranton. He is the father of three rooted in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Leni Lenape lands.
