We see 2030 as a critical climate turning point for choosing abundance over scarcity, collective governance over authoritarianism, and stewardship over predatory extraction. We move toward a horizon full of free people living, resting, and thriving in the places we call home.
Our work is guided by six pillars of climate justice:
Water
.
,
Clean water is a human right. But from the Gulf South to the Global South, water privateers and the fossil fuel industry are exploiting, polluting, and depleting our watersheds. Taproot Earth powers frontline communities repairing and protecting the lakes, rivers and seas we all rely on.
Energy
.
,
The Earth provides abundant sources of clean, renewable energy. Taproot advances policies that shift the balance of power away from the extractive fossil fuel industry and toward the responsible energy stewardship of frontline communities.
Land
.
,
Taproot Earth strives to repair the relationship between people and the land. We recognize that those Indigenous to the land have the knowledge and solutions to lead us to a new horizon of climate liberation.
Labor
.
,
Taproot Earth recognizes the dignity of all labor and advances frontline-led movements for economies and democracies that allow all people the freedom to simply be.
Economy
.
,
Using participatory research, Taproot Earth has advanced policy interventions that amplify movement voices to curtail and divest from harmful, extractive economic relations while investing in strategies that build democratic control of the economy.
Democracy
.
,
Taproot Earth works toward climate interventions that replace carceral systems and authoritarianism with community-level democracy and self-determination.
