Uniting Communities for Climate Action

By Lauren Goldberg

Fed up with the climate crisis? Dream of challenging one of the biggest fuel-fuel corporations in North America to make a difference for our climate?

Let’s turn your dream into action–and results.

Double your impact today: a generous group of families will match your gift, dollar for dollar, up to $15,000! Double my gift today!

Your support makes it possible to:

  • go head-to-head in court with TC Energy, the company behind the Keystone XL pipeline and backer of the GTN Xpress pipeline expansion proposal;
  • support rural communities and file creative legal challenges to Texas-based NEXT Energy’s proposed non-conventional diesel refinery which, if built, would be one of Oregon’s largest emitters of greenhouse gas pollution; and
  • organize community members in urban and rural river communities to speak up for a fossil-fuel free future.

Our staff includes experts on environmental laws and community engagement. As a supporter, you are an important part of our team working to tackle the climate crisis.

Your donation will help: 

  • engage and center impacted community members to inspire decisionmakers to take action; 
  • challenge the fossil fuel industry in court;
  • disclose fossil fuel industry secrets to the public by filing public records requests, dig through mountains of documents, and pitch hard-hitting stories to regional and national reporters; and
  • advocate for a just transition from fossil fuels by lobbying elected officials to support climate-friendly local and state action. 

Your support builds on two decades of victories and movement building to protect people and our climate from polluting fossil fuel infrastructure.  

Thank you for working with us to bring home the ultimate victory: a fossil fuel-free Columbia.
