Justice Statement
Priorities
Read the Op-Ed by Anthropocene Alliance leaders, Katherine Egland and Hilton Kelley: Climate justice in frontline communities: Here’s how to (really) help.
Commitment
Our mission is reflected in our board of directors, leadership, fundraising, and communications. We commit to:
-
Recruit Board members committed to our mission, and experienced with the communities we serve. We seek out leaders in business, science, education, and the arts.
-
Identify, train and support grassroots leaders from low-income, Black, Latino, Native American and other historically oppressed or marginalized communities.
-
Shift resources and decision-making when possible to the communities we serve. This allows A2 to keep its staff small and direct resources where they are needed most.
-
Use social and traditional media to amplify the voices of our grassroots leaders.
*See for example, research on the disproportionate impacts of climate change, air pollution, lead poisoning, and hazardous waste.
