Movement Generation | Climate Workers

Climate Workers

Through multilingual popular education, we connect the lived experiences of thousands of union members with the roots, scale, and urgency of the climate crisis. Workers engage in hands-on projects to foster climate resilience; mobilize their local and national unions to take bold, public stands against dirty energy; and lead campaigns for a just transition away from extreme energy and toward good jobs in industries that heal the planet. By harnessing the power of workers and unions, we’re creating a new economy based on economic democracy and ecological restoration.
