How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Fossil Fuel Abolition Through Strategic Corporate Campaigning
    methodology: fossil-fuel-abolition
    By 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 Organizing
    methodology: frontline-community-led-organizing
    By 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 Network
    methodology: grassroots campaign amplification
    By 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 Advocacy
    methodology: local power-building
    By 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.
