The PA Climate Equity Table seeks to unite urban, rural, and suburban voices for racial, economic, and climate justice by building: community; electoral power; shared racial and environmental justice analysis; and policy change. We seek a just and equitable transition from our extractive economy to an economy that is regenerative, renewable, and just.

We envision a thriving Commonwealth that prioritizes the health and wellbeing of all its people, works for ecological justice, protects the sacredness of our air, water, and land, champions workers’ rights and status, and advances racial and economic justice in communities. We serve as a coordinated and aligned effort of local-based organizations working together to achieve common goals that will benefit all across the state.

The table strives to:

• Build power in Black, Brown, and impacted communities on environmental and climate justice issues that intersect with economy and other sectors;
• Move community-driven policy solutions on a radical yet possible vision for a more equitable, just, climate-resilient and fossil-free Pennsylvania economy; and
• Be a voice for racial equity and justice on climate issues that is an alternative to environmental and decarbonization efforts not rooted in community solutions.
