At Clean Air, we fight powerlessness through collective action.
At this very moment, we sit in the stark realities of a global pandemic and visible state violence against Black lives. But while there are so many unknowns ahead of us, we refuse to be silenced, dispirited, or hopeless. To transform isolation, we put forward community visions for what our neighborhoods, workplaces, and government should be. When everything in the world seems uncertain, you can be sure that our hard work will continue.
In 2020, we came together to care for one another through hard times and build a more beautiful and clear vision for the world that we all deserve. Because of our members’ work, there is a broad and powerful coalition ensuring accountability in the cleanup of the Tonawanda Coke and American Axle sites. Seneca Babcock residents are reimagining the polluted Battaglia Demolition site as a “carbon sink” with habitat restoration and green infrastructure. And former Tesla workers, in their fight for dignity and justice, are showing the world that climate justice cannot be divorced from racial and economic justice.
We are proud of the work that we have collectively accomplished. Our members and communities find the strength every day to stand up for their lives and for the lives of people they do not know. Together, we build out a practice of care, of beloved community, and of fierce commitment to shared liberation.
No matter what 2021 brings, we are ready to take flight together so we can fight together. Together, we will create solutions, build power, and win. But we need your help to get there. We’re raising $60,000 so that we can continue to show up, live out our values, and build a bold vision for the world we all deserve.
Join us today so we can continue the fight tomorrow - and every day after that. Renew your membership or support to Clean Air, and your gift will go twice as far. Every dollar raised will be matched dollar-for-dollar, until we reach our goal!
Thank you for believing in the power of organizing. Every day, we are filled with gratitude for the connection and strength that has come from our community.
In solidarity and determination,
The Clean Air Team & Membership
