Grounded in the lived experiences of low income and communities of color, we root our work in research, community engagement, and policy to build the capacity of environmental justice communities.
In hyDROgen’s Journey we follow Dro, a young Hydrogen molecule who just doesn’t know what he’s meant to be in life. As we journey with Dro, we learn about the differences Grey, Blue and Green Hydrogen, and how communities are impacted by environmental harms from hydrogen-based energy in terms of water use, air quality, global warming and more.
We’re proud to share the impact we’ve made together over the past year as we continue building lasting, collective power across Minnesota, the Midwest, and the nation. Our communities inspire us every day, and your partnership, commitment, and solidarity make this vital work possible.
In March 2026, the CEED, CUB MN, and the Energy CENTS Coalition facilitated a zine-making session at Bichota Coffee to uplift the efforts of Minnesotans during Operation Metro Surge. Sign up for your free copy of the Our Stories, Our Power Zine!
Over the past several months, CEED has engaged in deep reflection and planning. The result is a new Strategic Framework that honors our history while charting a bold path forward. This framework is more than a plan—it provides the foundational structure, values, and principles we need for collective action, decision-making, and transformational change.
The Center for Earth, Energy and Democracy (CEED) is announcing the launch of the Midwest Climate & Health Equity Hub, a new regional initiative designed to support and connect organizations working at the intersection of environmental justice, climate justice, and public health across the Midwest.
Rooted in CEED’s long-standing mission to ensure impacted communities have the knowledge, data and resources to lead climate solutions, the Midwest Climate & Health Equity Hub represents a strategic investment in the region where climate impacts, public health disparities, and energy burdens are increasingly converging.
In April 2026, the Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling in Louisiana v. Callais gutted a core protection of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 — the provision barring racial gerrymandering designed to dilutes the voting power of Black communities. The Trump administration called it a victory. For communities on the frontlines of pollution, climate change, and environmental injustice, it is one most deliberate act of erasure and as Dr. Beverly Wright of Deep South Center for Environmental Justice (DSCEJ) says, it is a “theft of our movement’s inheritance”.
The House Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition (SEEC) hosted an Earth Day 2026 strategy session and press conference titled Federal Fire, Local Heat at the US Capitol. Dalal Aboulhosn, Managing Director for Programs and Policy at the Center for Earth, Energy and Democracy (CEED), convener of the Platform for a Justice Climate, spoke alongside other climate justice leaders and members of Congress like Rep. Adelita Grijalva and Sen. Ed Markey.
CEED provides research and capacity building so that communities can make informed decisions about policies and programs affecting their environmental conditions on the local and federal level.
CEED works in partnership with grassroots communities, policy makers and researchers, combining technical research with a priority for understanding policy impacts on justice communities.
CEED conducts popular education within grassroots communities to build their capacity to engage in their own voice on critical energy, climate and environmental policies and planning that affect their health and livelihoods.
