After completing an extensive and thoroughly competitive search over the summer and into the fall of 2024, CJA’s Board of Directors chose KD Chavez as the new Climate Justice Alliance Executive Director!
As our Alliance continues to grow our power, lead innovative campaigns, and amplify effective movement strategy towards winning a Just Transition, we believe KD is the perfect match for our ambitious objectives in coming years.
KD has a longstanding commitment to their people and movement, making waves and disrupting while building the new in impressive ways, from organizing to resource mobilization. They know that the struggle is intersectional, with history in gender justice, reproductive rights, the abolitionist movement, Indigenous rights, LGBTQI+, and more.
I am deeply humbled to accept this calling and serve as executive director of CJA. I am ready to honor our people by remaining deeply rooted in our shared values of a Just Transition, working at an organization born from and for the grassroots climate justice movement. I look forward to serving and building with our incredible member alliance of grassroots climate justice leaders and partners. Together, we will work towards our liberation while creating the cultural conditions we need to build the just, equitable, and thriving future we all deserve.
