We believe urgent and bold action is needed to drive our country's transition to an equitable clean energy future and that communities most harmed by climate change must play a leadership role in designing, prioritizing, and implementing solutions. Our highly experienced advisory board, staff, and senior policy fellows across the country offer action-based research, policy expertise, customized training/technical assistance, and a robust network supporting the movement for environmental and climate justice. 

ABOUT THE POSITION
