Camille Pannu

Camille Pannu returns to CRPE's Delano office as a Staff Attorney and Hewlett-Packard & Morgan, Lewis and Bockius LLP Equal Justice Works Fellow. Camille co-coordinates CRPE's Green and Just Economic Development campaign, which works to transform the San Joaquin Valley's dirty and dangerous industrial economy by launching community-driven and community-owned sustainable agriculture and "green" economic development projects.
Raised in Richmond, California, Camille graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law (Boalt Hall), where she developed university-community partnerships to address persistent injustices in California's rural and urban low-income communities of color. At Boalt, Camille served as a William K. Coblentz Civil Rights Fellow, Senior Articles Editor of the California Law Review, and co-coordinator for the Women of Color Collective. Camille co-founded Students for Economic & Environmental Justice and also served as co-chair (with Sushil Jacob) of UC Berkeley's Green-Collar Jobs workgroup. She was awarded a University of California Human Rights Fellowship, as well as recognition from minority bar associations, for her work with rural communities of color.
Prior to law school, Camille worked with rural Kenyan farmers to evaluate and improve water infrastructure and children's health. As a student director at Yale Law School's Community Economic Development Clinic, she worked with community organizations, schools, and city government to eliminate poverty and improve access to food, nutrition, and civic education in New Haven's low-income Black and Latino neighborhoods.

Camille is humbled and thrilled to work on behalf of SJV communities to restore the beauty and possibility of the Valley.
