North Carolina Climate Justice Collective

Our Collective practices the four Rs of social transformation: reform, resist, re-imagine and re-create. We bring people together across diverse social identities, issues and strategies: impacted environmental justice communities and elected leaders, BIPOC people and white allies, youth and adults, direct action activists and academics, cultural organizers and practical solutions experts, rural and urban communities.

The North Carolina Climate Justice Collective (NCCJC) cultivates a multi-racial, intergenerational grassroots movement ecosystem to address the root causes of climate change. Using popular education and cultural organizing, we ignite social transformation. We center all our work in the leadership of youth, Black, Indigenous and people of color, women, low wealth people, and LGBTQI+ people to create strategic alignment. We are bringing an end to fracked gas infrastructure, coal ash pollution, industrial agriculture and forest destruction while planting the seeds of a life-sustaining, regenerative society.
