Drew Arrieta

As a Storytelling Coordinator, Drew identifies relevant partners and individuals to maximize the reach, influence, and impact of Drawdown Stories with a focus on global and national connections. Drew helps research, vet, and secure inspiring interviewees for in-person and virtual productions with an emphasis on identifying and featuring individuals from underrepresented groups and those not often represented in the climate conversation.

Drew comes to Drawdown Stories with a background in partnerships, event productions, and cultural organizing. For the past five years he has worked with Effect Partners to raise over $250K for gender equality and domestic violence through an impact initiative with Bon Iver, convened a community of musicians (including Jack Johnson) to stand with the Paris Climate Agreement, and produced an Instagram live event series that raised $75k for musicians impacted by COVID. Drew has consulted multiple brands and climate organizations on how to utilize culture and arts for social change. Prior to that, Drew worked as a political organizer for New York Hotel Trades Council, a labor union for hotel workers in the New York tri-state area.
