Moving the Money

What is moving the money?

Moving the money means taking money away from systems that harm people, like fossil fuels and corporate profits, and putting it into community-led projects that keep people safe, healthy, and supported. It’s about funding the solutions our communities need to thrive.

How we move the money

The old economy worked by exploiting workers and destroying the environment. We can’t resource a Just Transition using the tools of the old economy. Our model is different. Since 2021, we’ve driven more than $140 million in state funding to frontline communities and mobilized nearly $400,000 to our alliance members.

Every dollar brings us closer to a regenerative economy that saves lives and honors human dignity. The new economy starts with us, and it starts with putting power in the hands of the people.

Mobilizing grants to our alliance members

We give our members the support they need to organize, lead campaigns, and create Just Transition solutions in their communities.

Advocating for frontline communities

We push for state budgets and policies that prioritize frontline communities, ensuring public dollars fund projects that save lives and build community power.
