Our comprehensive analysis of the Inflation Reduction Act, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, Justice40, and how to leverage these federal funding opportunities to advance climate justice.
The last 60 years of climate and social justice activism have underscored two fundamental truths. The first being that reactive reforms are not enough to arrest cycles of corrosive disadvantage and domination. Invariably any oppressive system becomes so untenable over time it requires transformation from the ground up – a total reimagining of what is possible rooted in an acknowledgement of historical facts. The second being that if we are divided, individualized or isolated, we can be suppressed. Now as in the past, political, economic and social power are unsustainably and indefensibly concentrated.
To be successful in implementing structural transformation, movements must come together to coordinate and support one another in order to reclaim our power, restore the rights of peoples and nature, and bend the arc of history towards justice for all.

The important question of our time is not what are the problems we face? but how do we envision solving them in a truly liberating way? We cannot be paralyzed by analysis. It is our responsibility in this age to envision and pursue what we can create together that is better. The Center’s approach to this question is to start with an intentionally intersectional analysis of an issue, show how it reveals the need for emancipatory alternatives, and ultimately to lift up specific but transformative changes that are both possible and deeply revolutionary.
