Energy Justice Now: A Forum for Dirty Energy Opponents

Since 1999, Ener­gy Jus­tice Net­work has worked with com­mu­ni­ties across the U.S. to oppose every kind of dirty ener­gy facil­i­ty — from coal and nat­ur­al-gas fired plants, to nuclear reac­tors, to bio­mass and trash incin­er­a­tors — to pro­tect human health and the nat­ur­al world that keeps us alive.

While count­less pol­lu­tion push­ers have been run out of town by local grass­roots resis­tance over the years, pro­pos­als for new filth fac­to­ries — some even under the guise of “green” ener­gy — keep com­ing hard and fast. A lack of nation-wide sol­i­dar­i­ty across the anti-dirty ener­gy move­ment dilutes our pow­er to even­tu­al­ly put the dirty ener­gy oppor­tunists out of busi­ness altogether.

To that end…In June 2014, Ener­gy Jus­tice Net­work will be launch­ing Ener­gy Jus­tice Now — a first-of-its kind pub­li­ca­tion report­ing on the entire spec­trum of the dirty ener­gy resis­tance and high­light­ing the voic­es of com­mu­ni­ty orga­niz­ers bat­tling fos­sil fuels, nuclear pow­er, and bio­mass and trash incin­er­a­tion from sea to shin­ing sea.

Ener­gy Jus­tice Now will unite the many voic­es of our move­ment into one loud roar demand­ing clean air, pure water, a liv­able cli­mate, and a tru­ly sus­tain­able economy.

Stay tuned for June 2014 and the birth of Ener­gy Jus­tice Now — because clean ener­gy can’t come out of a smokestack!
