“Do-nothing climate policy is racist policy…”
Our Work
Support frontline communities and leaders
We amplify the voices of black and brown people and communities that suffer most from heat and climate instability.
Divest from fossil fuels
We advocate for universities and hospitals to divest their endowments and retirement funds from fossil fuels. We must invest in clean energy to ensure a healthy community and planet.
Advocate for a Just, Green Recovery
We demand a recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic that prioritizes environmental justice and sustainability. We strive to educate policymakers about the health harms of burning fossil fuels and the benefits of a rapid transition to 100% renewable energy as part of Covid -19 recovery plans.
Support Electrification
We work with local partners to advocate for energy efficient, all-electric buildings run on clean energy. All-electric buildings are healthier, safer and better for our planet.
