About Our Team

Our teams come from strong backgrounds in the arts & culture, public policy, climate science, and nonprofit governance worlds:

At Climate Justice Texas and Climate Justice Texas Community, we take an approach that is different from most environmentally-minded organizations — we start with creativity, accessibility, and positivity. We are highly localized and emphasize empowering those that we work with to believe in a better future for themselves and those that they love.

We use this approach to engineer climate dialogue in places and spaces where it currently does not exist or is highly stigmatized — but where it is also most obviously needed. In places like East Texas, where we are based, concepts like biodiversity loss, chemical pollution, extreme weather events, increasing heat, decreased mental health and quality of life, and lack of access to economic diversity and empowerment are always present but rarely spoken about.

As a team founded by young women of color, rooted in the lived-realities faced by a rural community with some of the largest industrial expansions in the world — we encourage “voiceless” figures to express themselves, to build their own support systems for resilience, and to take back their personal power.

We are always looking for new partners and collaborators, and are currently working on solidifying and growing our staff, volunteers, advisors, and investors — please feel free to reach out to us anytime to join our mission at www.climatejusticetexas.org.
