WE ARE A MULTIRACIAL, WORKING CLASS, CROSS-SECTORAL UNITED FRONT TO WIN A GREEN NEW DEAL AGENDA AT THE INTERSECTION OF RACIAL, ECONOMIC AND CLIMATE JUSTICE IN ILLINOIS.
Our movement for a Green New Deal will change the balance of power to prioritize people and our planet over profit; address economic, racial, immigrant, and gender inequities; halt the destruction of our environment, and invest in essential community infrastructure to make all neighborhoods healthy and resilient.
MEMBERS
Our organizations have come together as a united front to win a Green New Deal at the federal and local level, to enact a just transition from fossil fuels and extractive industries, to mitigate climate disaster while transforming our economy and society to provide economic security and social, racial and environmental justice for all.
STEERING COMMITTEE
Our coalition centers the leadership of Black, Latine, people of color, immigrants and working class communities. We bridge challenging historic divides, between environmental justice, labor, and the rural-urban divide in a powerful united front to win a Green New Deal.
