Greens REALIGN
Greens REALIGN is a member-based collective of current, former, and future staff of environmental (and mission-aligned) organizations organizing for a more representative, fair, and united environmental movement. We seek to fundamentally alter the mainstream environmental movement to make it work on behalf of everyone.
how we work
changing the environmental movement inside and out
We are calling for changes in how the mainstream environmental movement operates. We want environmental organizations to embrace and celebrate people with all backgrounds and life experiences and to create a culture where everyone can thrive. We believe that in order for the movement to succeed, organizations must be led by the communities most impacted by environmental harms and share with them resources and access.
​
​We mobilize staff across the movement in the following ways:
Peer-to-Peer Learning
We create opportunities for members to share their skills, knowledge, and lessons learned with other members. By forging critical connections with each other, we create a trusting environment for folks to ask questions, share answers, mentor, and be mentored.
Creating Shareable Resources
We take the lessons we learn about how to create representative, fair, and united cultures and how to work on just terms with impacted communities and we create resources to share widely across the environmental movement.
Empowering Staff to Take Action
As actors within the mainstream environmental movement, we know we have a responsibility to press for change within our spheres of influence. We are building the leadership capacities of those who are ready to forge ahead so they can be clear voices for justice and pave the way for the movement.
