Supporting Multi-Issue Organizing for Climate Justice

To effectively mitigate our climate crisis, we must support multi-issue organizers who are building power for connected priorities in Black, Indigenous, Latinx, AAPI, immigrant and low-income communities. Whether your funding is directed to economic justice, civic engagement, education, or health – there are opportunities and inroads to advocate for climate equity inherent to our movements for social progress.

Join Neighborhood Funders Group, The Climate and Clean Energy Equity Fund, and Surdna Foundation at our October Member Call for a conversation on what it takes to support multi-issue organizing, and how power-building is a pillar for a healthy climate future. During this discussion, hear from our partners and funder peers who are showing up with action and support in alignment with this vision.
