Adrienne is the mother of Henry Green, who was killed in a South Linden neighborhood by two plainclothes Columbus police officers in 2016 who remain on the force.

Adrienne is currently working for a local defense contractor and is a veteran of the US Army. She has also served in the Air Force Reserve since 2004 and her military career is nearing retirement. She has spent many a weekend at Wright-Patterson in Dayton. Her long military career has given her the rank of Master Sergeant.

She has moved from protest to using her power to make positive change. This spring she joined #RepYourBlock and was elected as a Franklin County Central Committee member representing Ward 54.

Adrienne hopes to bring “fresh ideals and challenge systemic issues” within the Democratic Party. She feels her biggest accomplishment in the community is “encouraging people to be involved that have never thought about this level of engagement, especially with my family and friends. My hope is I’ll be instrumental in continuing to apply pressure to push for a thriving, safe community for us all.”

Adrienne, a member of True Love Ministries in North Linden, says while local activists gave her a hand up, her spirituality has also been a source of strength to deal with her son’s tragedy.

She has received the Columbus Free Press “Libby” award and is a TEDx Talk speaker.
