OGAN was founded by a passionate group of friends with a deep history in global social movements. From being immersed in grassroots networks to working at international NGO's - we’ve learned how to build people-power, use narrative strategies to shift culture, and effectively use non-violent direct action to support communities and the climate. We focus on strengthening alliances across the climate and environmental justice movement and building grassroots power. By prioritizing organizing and direct action tactics — we can do more than just create policy change — we can help support communities to build a just and equitable society for themselves. We believe that social movements are like ecosystems — they are most successful and impactful when we build deep interconnectedness, resiliency, and resources are shared equitably. OGAN works to center the people most impacted by the fossil fuel industry, and build their leadership. Our work takes a people-powered, actions-led approach to social change that seeks to empower communities, directly address issues of equity, amplify the voices and leadership of the frontlines, and build a just world beyond the destruction of fossil fuels. We want healthy communities, green jobs, and room for everyone to make change.
