To realize our vision, we work to change three conditions:
Awareness. We work to:
• Alert the public to the risks that fracked gas infrastructure poses to the climate and public health.
• Amplify the voices of the most vulnerable communities
• Reinforce the work that other grassroots groups are doing to educate the public about clean energy solutions.
• Spotlight the undemocratic way that toxic
projects are rubber-stamped by government agencies.
• Increase awareness of alternative models of energy ownership.
• Educate the public about the rights of nature and threats to safe, clean habitats. We aim to:
• Dispel the false narrative that gas is safe and clean and that its development benefits the climate.
• Foster the understanding that a transition to community-owned renewable energy is
not only possible but is already underway.
• Set an example by learning from those most impacted by toxic projects. Build a movement that models respectful, collaborative, bottom-up organizing. Acknowledge at all of our events that we occupy Indigenous land and support reparations work. We empower people by:
• Mentoring and fostering community-based leadership so that, together, we magnify our reach.
• Building a movement that models respectful, collaborative, bottom-up organizing.
• Meeting people where they are, i.e., understanding that all tactics are not for everyone
• Lending direct support to our allies around the state via art building, strategy,
training, and media outreach.
• Instigating and supporting action and alliances at the local, statewide, and regional levels.
