Our current campaigns focus on promoting clean energy and solutions to climate change, ensuring the food we eat and products we use are safe and sustainable, and protecting marine ecosystems and the people who live and work near them. Beyond Extreme Energy supports frontline communities fighting imposed fossil fuel infrastructure, and for seven years it has kept steady pressure on FERC to prioritize the needs of communities and the earth, rather than the desires of the fossil fuel industry. The Revolving Door Project (RDP), a project of the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), scrutinizes executive branch appointees to ensure they use their office to serve the broad public interest, rather than to entrench corporate power or seek personal advancement.

We work to protect people’s health, communities and democracy from the growing destructive power of the most powerful economic interests. The Gulf Coast Center for Law & Policy (GCCLP) is a non-profit, public interest law firm and justice center with a mission to advance structural shifts toward climate justice and ecological equity in communities of color on the frontline of climate change.
