Goals
Original Research and Analysis:
We proactively assess challenges and opportunities within local, state and federal legislation and programs to define and elevate justice-centered policy solutions.
Field Building Programs:
We offer a two-year Senior Fellows Program for seasoned policy experts and advocates to explore their interests in more depth and share their expertise as thought leaders, mentors and trainers. And we are developing Climate Justice Policy Training Institutes for emerging leaders as well as campaign-specific, peer learning cohorts for more seasoned policy leaders to advance strategy and innovation.
Investment in Innovator States:
We convene and lead federal and state “Innovation Hubs” to provide space, time, and resources for state partners to strengthen networks, share successful models, push their thinking on policy solutions, and advance campaign strategy at the state and federal level.
Movement-wide Learning and Innovation:
We provide education and communication offerings to disseminate lessons learned, shape public discourse, deepen understanding of justice-centered solutions, and build a broader base of support.
Cross-Sector Partnerships:
We engage allies in non-profit, academia, philanthropy and government sectors to leverage and align resources, expertise, and networks in support of our partners’ campaigns.
Core Work Areas
All of our work serves the purpose of centering BIPOC-frontline communities, uplifting equitable solutions, and advancing climate justice.
