Voices from the Movement
Guiding the program’s design is a commitment to centering and amplifying the principles and voices of the Environmental Justice Movement to engage in a collaborative journey of mutual learning and growth. We have been in deep consultation with EJ leaders around the country about the need for a leadership program of this kind and will continue to center EJ decision making in the emergence of the Fellowship.

Partners and Contributors
“Relationships are at the root of everything we do in the Environmental Justice Movement. To be in a space where we’re able to be vulnerable, learn, and share culture, strategies, joy, and failures with one another – that is what true partnership and movement building looks like.” Monica Atkins, Climate Justice Alliance
“The current economic, social, and political turmoil is a moment of great risk and opportunity, where society can either retrench into business as usual or seize the chance to radically reimagine the world. To achieve the new, just world we want, those closest to the issues need to lead. There is tremendous potential in dismantling the barriers between movement expertise and academia that could change what is possible for us and future generations.” Miya Yoshitani, Asian Pacific Environmental Network
"The climate justice movement is both deeply local and deeply global by nature. Our struggles are bound to one another as frontline communities impacted by extractivism around the world. Grassroots organizations are the essential vehicles that allow us to learn lessons, build trust, and be in direct relationships with each other in the local communities where we are rooted and as we build shared struggle for justice at a global level." Jaron Browne, Grassroots Global Justice Alliance
