OUR MISSION

To INpower fenceline, frontline, and underserved communities to resist ongoing environmental, climate, energy, and health injustices so everyone can thrive in just, equitable, and sustainable futures. 

OUR VISION

We envision just, equitable, and sustainable futures where all communities thrive in harmony with the land and each other. In these futures, we are liberated from systems of oppression, fossil fuels and the extractive economy where environmental, climate, energy, and health injustices are eradicated. To achieve these futures, fenceline, frontline, and underserved communities lead the fight. We pursue this vision by INpowering communities with the resources, knowledge, and tools to shape their own path, with every action, policy, and initiative rooted in the community’s unique vision, culture, knowledge systems, and values.

OUR VALUES

Community-First 

We believe that communities hold collective power and knowledge within themselves. We honor that power by upholding and promoting community-led governance that centers self-determination. 

Co-Development

We work to create authentic spaces where communities are active partners in the decisions that impact their lives.

Accountability 

We are accountable to the communities we serve, our partners, and one another by operating with transparency, quality, and integrity. 

Care

We care for ourselves, each other, and the communities we serve by honoring their wisdom, cultivating a culture of mutual respect, and building trust as the foundation of everything we do. 

Liberation

Guided by the 17 Principles of Environmental Justice and the Jemez Principles for Democratic Organizing, we actively work to dismantle systems of oppression and foster just, equitable, and thriving communities.

Joy 

Through radical imagination, we see joy as the purpose of our work, movement, and everyday interaction, where each person’s passion and spirit uplift us all.
