People & Planet First
Most of us want the same things: a good life for ourselves and our children, a better future that we can look forward to, and to be treated fairly.
But right now, corporations are profiting from damaging our climate and dividing people based on race, background, or where we live, harming our communities–and hurting black and brown, and indigenous people the most.
The focus of our program
Public Health over Punishment
End the Racist War on Drugs
Evidence-based Solutions
End the Overdose Crisis
What can you do to help save the planet?
To accomplish these goals, we are building a base: starting with a diverse leadership team of the most impacted community members, then connecting local infrastructure fights to the narrative power of the Green New Deal and national recovery efforts. And, we are shifting the winds, pushing for cross-government climate solutions and utilizing deep federal investments for local governance.
We’re all in this together. By coming together like we’ve done in the past to win better wages, civil rights, and other victories, we can build a future where everyone has a chance to thrive, not just the wealthy few.
That’s why we launched the People & Planet First campaign –now it’s your turn: get involved today.
