Community Climate Shift Announces Nine New Partners

After months of careful consideration, Community Climate Shift has selected nine new organizations to co-lead our work transforming how communities and governments work together to address climate change and social justice. These locations are the focus of a $5 million Department of Energy award that allows us to model community-centered policymaking in 9 different places across the country by braiding together philanthropic and federal dollars.

Staff from the Institute for Market Transformation and the People’s Climate Innovation Center identified possible community partners through a social change ecosystem mapping process and submitted recommendations to the Steering Committee for alignment. The Steering Committee is a diverse group of community-based organizations committed to building equity in climate solutions and equitable decarbonization collaborators.

We are proud to announce the following new community partners:

• California
  • Local Clean Energy Alliance
  • Physicians for Social Responsibility
  • Strategic Actions for a Just Economy
• Chicago, IL
  • People for Community Recovery
• Kansas City, MO
  • Bridging the Gap
• Minneapolis, MN
  • ISAIAH 
• New Orleans, LA
  • Alliance for Affordable Energy 
• St. Louis, MO
  • Community Builders Network
• Washington, DC
  • Washington Interfaith Network

We will also expand work with two existing partners: PODER in San Francisco and POWER Interfaith in Philadelphia. 

We are actively seeking additional funding support for these efforts. Contact Betsy Law to learn more.
