Policy
Building our Power by Changing the Rules
Centering Frontline Solutions
CJA’s policy work is guided by our more than 80 climate justice, frontline and supporting organizations engaged in local, state and national work on a wide range of issues from Racial Justice, Energy Democracy, Food Sovereignty, Zero Waste, the THRIVE Agenda, Just Recovery Work and more. Our 6 meta strategies guide our vision for a Just Transition to a Regenerative Economy.
When it comes to policy work, those closest to the problems have the most innovative solutions, and are the experts on the issues affecting their lives. We are changing the way governance works by building Our Power and pathways to solutions that work for frontline communities and workers, while pushing back against false solutions to climate change.
