A dig, burn & dump economy based on extracting natural & human resources faster than we can regenerate will eventually come to an end — either through collapse or through our intentional re-organization. Transition is inevitable. Justice is not.❤️‍🔥

How can we resist false climate solutions and ensure a Just Transition that restores our communities and the web of life?

Frontline communities & workers are impacted first and worst by the interlinked crises of climate change and the extractive economy.
“Just Transition is a principle, a process and a practice.”

Climate Justice Alliance STRONGLY opposes Manchin's Dirty Deal, Re-Resurrected as the "Energy Permitting Reform Bill of 2024"

Read and share statement here: climatejusticealliance.org/climate-justic…
Image
Last week, Senators Joe Manchin and John Barrasso proposed the Energy Permitting Reform Act of 2024, the latest resurrection of the dirty deal that sacrifices our communities and planet in the interest of the fossil fuel industry. Image
This dirty deal clears the way for oil, gas, coal, mining, and liquified natural gas companies to pollute our water and lands—exacerbating the public health issues faced by our communities amidst an increasingly accelerated climate crisis. Image

We are excited to share CJA’s annual report with you!
climatejusticealliance.org/wp-content/upl…

A lot happened last year: we continued to navigate a global pandemic, pushed back against chronic disinformation from the right, & supported our members dealing with intensifying climate catastrophes.
CJA members pulled off amazing accomplishments. From getting groundbreaking climate justice legislation passed in multiple states, to building regenerative economy projects locally, & supporting the alliance’s transition to a 501(c)3 while hiring 3 powerful women as co-directors.
This annual report is a celebration of you, our members, and the collective impact we’re able to have when we build power at the local level and come together in solidarity and mutual support.

The story of Black people in the #EnvironmentalJustice movement is rooted in the civil rights movement and the fight for racial justice. #CJABlackCaucus

Check out the Black EJ Timeline and webpage ClimateJusticeAlliance.org/Black-Caucus
The Black #EnvironmentalJustice movement helped birth the #ClimateJustice movement of today. CJA’s Black Caucus is working to archive and tell these stories. Building narrative power through the collection of written, oral, song, and visual historical preservation.
The Black Caucus is working to develop a Climate Justice Peoples’ Teach-In geared towards Black communities and designed to spark the next generation of Black climate and environmental justice leaders.

How do we resist extraction and desecration of sacred sites while permanently returning land & sovereignty to Indigenous peoples?

🗣 Get your radical imagination going at: bit.ly/resistandbuild 🔥🌱🛠

#ResistAndBuild #LandBack @cjaourpower @movegen @neweconomics (1/10)
The U.S. was built on stolen land by stolen lives and labor. Returning land and sovereignty to Indigenous peoples is a requisite to building economies rooted in a just relationship with each other and the earth. (2/10)
We acknowledge that struggles for collective determination and sovereignty over Indigenous lands are as diverse as the hundreds of Indigenous nations across Turtle Island. (3/10)
