- Fossil Fuel Abolition Through Strategic Corporate Campaigningmethodology: fossil-fuel-abolitionBy targeting the fossil fuel industry with sustained corporate campaigns and strategic actions, we drive systemic change because dismantling the political and economic power of polluters is necessary for a just transition to renewable energy.
- Frontline-Led Climate Justice Organizingmethodology: frontline-community-led-organizingBy centering Black, Brown, and immigrant communities disproportionately affected by climate injustice as leaders in the movement, we produce more equitable and effective climate solutions because frontline communities possess critical lived expertise and strategic leverage in challenging systemic inequities.
- Grassroots Campaign Amplification Networkmethodology: grassroots campaign amplificationBy connecting decentralized grassroots groups and activists to high-impact campaigns, we increase collective pressure on the fossil fuel industry because coordinated action across movements multiplies political and economic leverage beyond what isolated groups can achieve.
- Local Power-Building for Sustained Advocacymethodology: local power-buildingBy investing in local power and community solidarity, we create durable infrastructure for long-term climate justice advocacy because strong, connected communities are more resilient, responsive, and capable of sustained political engagement.
