We’re “keeping the climate cool” in East Texas and beyond
Climate Justice Texas (501c4) and Climate Justice Texas Community (fiscally-sponsored 501c3) are nonprofit organizations founded by passionate young women of color creating inclusive spaces for our East Texas community to have conversations about our environment, the unique challenges that we face, and how to preserve our region for future generations.
Our approach — as a grassroots, young adult-focused environmental organizations between Southeast Texas’s “petrochemical alley” and the biodiverse Big Thicket of East Texas — utilizes environmental advocacy, conservation education, civic encouragement, and “arts as activism".”

Our Vision
We envision a world where native plants and animals flourish; where all communities have access to clean air, land, and water; where manmade global warming has been reduced to pre-industrial levels; and where the legal frameworks for environmental stewardship are returned to the people who inhabit these spaces.

While our work is deeply inclusive, collaborative, and inherently works across political aisles in a deeply conservative area, we mostly use ActBlue because it is a great and user-friendly advocacy platform. Also, we are more currently aligned with progressive democrats — seeing as the Republican majority of the moment hates to see us coming.
