Joshua “Jolly” Hollamon (they/he) is a Los Angeles based activist, with organizing expertise around climate justice and local politics. They previously held the Climate Justice Organizer position at the UU Justice Ministry of California. He has been active in building a healthier and more sustainable community, from traveling to DC to lobby with congressmen to organizing and supporting community events. In 2020, they co-managed the incubation and operations of a new drop-in, homelessness access center. This led to extended outreach to unhoused neighbors, providing service to the previously unserved Sherman Oaks neighborhood.

They support their local congregation, First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles, as a member of the Animal Ministry and Building & Grounds Committees.

Jolly is delighted to continue their work as a faith-based organizer through UUJME.
