Mobilization for Climate Justice West is a collaborative effort of:

Communities for a Better Environment

Communities for a Better Environment works to achieve environmental health and justice by building grassroots power in and with communities of color and working-class communities.

Courage to ResistCourage to Resist is a group of concerned community members, veterans and military families that supports military objectors to illegal war and occupation and the policies of empire. Our People Power strategy weakens the pillars that maintain war and occupation in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere by supporting GI resistance, counter-recruitment and draft resistance, which cuts off the supply of troops. We are autonomous from and independent of any political organization, party or group.

Environmental Justice Coalition for WaterEnvironmental Justice Coalition for Water is a network of more than fifty grassroots and intermediary organizations. EJCW works to empower community members to become strong voices for water justice in their communities. We enable community members to take control of their water resources by participating in water policy, planning and decisions. We ensure policy makers are listening to the concerns of community members and hold policy makers accountable for the heavy impacts water policy has on low-income communities and communities of color. Our coalition is building a collective, community-based movement for democratic water management and allocation in California.

Global Justice Ecology Project

Global Justice Ecology Project explores and exposes the intertwined root causes of social injustice, ecological destruction and economic domination with the aim of building bridges between social justice, environmental justice and ecological justice groups to strengthen their collective efforts.  Within this framework, our programs focus on Indigenous Peoples’ rights, protection of native forests and climate justice.  We use the issue of climate change to demonstrate these interconnections.
