Funding the Frontlines

Make a donation to build power for environmental justice.

Together, we are building a just climate future for all.

Across the country, communities on the frontlines of climate change are leading the way toward a cleaner and healthier future for all.

The Platform for a Just Climate (formerly known as the Equitable & Just National Climate Platform/EJNCP), a project of the Center for Earth, Energy & Democracy (CEED) brings together environmental justice groups and national organizations to turn this vision into action at every level of power.

The Platform for a Just Climate works to advance communities on the frontlines and the organizations supporting them. When we urge you to Fund the Frontlines, we are asking you to ensure those most impacted by climate change and the fossil fuel economy can actively participate in developing, winning, and implementing environmental policies that address community needs.
Your gift today helps fund the frontlines, the people and places transforming environmental justice from a promise into lasting change.

Now, more than ever, climate justice is under attack. Grassroots movements are gaining ground thanks to people like you. We know that when we fight, we win.

Your Gift Powers a National Movement

The Platform for a Just Climate is the only national coalition uniting grassroots environmental justice groups and national climate organizations to co-create just, equitable climate policy.

Your support helps CEED to:

  • Defend past wins that fund local clean energy and pollution reduction projects.
  • Amplify the voices of frontline leaders shaping national climate policy.
  • Expand funding to support EJ organizations nationwide.
  • Build narrative power that centers communities, justice, and collective action.

“When frontline communities have the power and support to lead, our climate strategies are more effective, inclusive, and enduring.”  — CEED Theory of Change

Why We Need Your Support

The fight for climate justice is at a turning point.

Federal investments in clean energy and environmental justice are making a real difference, but many of these gains are under threat. The Platform for a Just Climate defends this progress while building the foundation for the just climate future our communities deserve.

Your donation helps ensure that the people most impacted by climate change remain at the center of every national solution. Join us to fight for a future where everyone has access to safe, clean, pollution-free communities and economies.
