Growing Our Power – CJA National Convening

130+ representatives from more than 50 CJA member and ally organizations attended the CJA National Convening in St. Louis, MO, hosted by Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment. The convening focused on four tracks of work: Building the Bigger We, Reinvest in Our Power, Resourcing a Just Transition, and Making Just Transition Real on the Ground. Members approved the implementation of CJA’s 4-Year Strategy and held a powerful action at the doors of Peabody Energy. 150+ people demanded a Just Transition Fund from the corporation which had declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy, leaving behind environmentally devastated communities with no accountability.
