Selah Goodson Bell
Selah works on Solar United Neighbors’ policy and advocacy campaigns in the Atlantic Southeast Region, bolstering state solar policies in Washington, D.C., Maryland, Virginia, Florida, and Puerto Rico.
Before joining SUN, Selah was an Energy Justice Campaigner with the Center for Biological Diversity where he spearheaded reports and state legislative campaigns to mitigate energy insecurity and utility profiteering. He also supported campaigns to increase the equitable deployment of distributed solar, raise awareness about utility injustices, and envision customer-centric alternatives to the centralized and fossil-fueled grid. In a previous role as a Research Associate with the Environmental Law Institute, he gained experience liaising with and assisting experts in climate litigation, environmental enforcement, and brownfield revitalization.
Selah was born in Atlanta, Georgia, grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa, and has been living in Washington, D.C. since 2021. Outside of work, he spends a lot of time organizing, playing basketball, watching and reading works of speculative fiction, and trash talking with friends during game nights.
