ABOUT US
Progress for frontline communities starts with just policies at every level of government. We advocate for environmental justice legislation at the New York City, New York State, and Federal levels to create the environmentally just future that communities deserve.
The goal of WE ACT 4 Change is to build and leverage political power in our fight to achieve environmental and climate justice for communities in Northern Manhattan. We will use it to engage in voter and civic engagement activities as well as ranking and endorsing political candidates. We will also use it to lobby for policies and programs as well as hold elected officials accountable.
We have already begun our voter engagement work in New York City, conducting candidate forums, hiring and training canvassers for a get-out-the-vote campaign, and developing the city’s first environmental justice candidate report card. We will also use this new entity to advocate for state and federal policies that advance climate justice.
