CLIMATE JUSTICE
climate justice for all
The CEER Climate Justice Campaign focuses on movement building, capacity building and leadership development of neighborhood leaders to advance their vision of climate justice.
justice at work
To achieve our goals, we recruited and trained 14 residents to work as climate ambassadors, who engaged their networks to educate and advocate about climate change. See some of the ways they are making an impact in their communities.
We are working on our home retrofit policy solution, to help residents weather the climate change storm at home, and address climate and health issues. Our health partners, Legacy Community Health Centers and a physician and Assistant Professor from the University of Texas School of Public Health will mobilize health stakeholders to add their voices to the advocacy campaign.
We continue to learn that the most impactful way to create lasting change and achieve meaningful policy wins is to build power at the community level and work in coalition. We do that by convening the Northeast Collaborative Platform (NECP), which is made up of CEER member organizations, impacted residents and grassroots place-based groups active in Northeast Houston. This coalition meets monthly and creates space for dialogue, organizing and visioning.
