Workshop
Resilient Energy Systems
This workshop is designed for communities to better understand how they are being impacted by the current energy infrastructure.
Bringing Justice to Sustainability
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.

Earth Day 2023: Celebrating Nature’s Gifts
Join us for an Earth Day event in collaboration with CLUES’ Jardin De Armonia and Cynthia Rico Mendoza of Earthy Mujer, where we will cook together and share a meal from our new Nature’s Cookbook, and engage in discussion around the need to treat the Earth with care and reciprocity, not as a commodity.
All members of society have a voice in public decision-making and have a right to a healthy and vibrant planet.
We work to ensure that historically marginalized communities and policy makers have the tools and information they need to create just, sustainable energy and environmental policy. Indigenous communities, low income communities, communities of color (i.e. environmental justice communities) have a right to be at the decision making table. We develop tools and information on climate, environment and energy to build the capacity of community members to effectively participate in public decision making.
