The Green New Deal Network, a collective action fund of Tides Foundation, is tackling climate change while proactively addressing discriminatory policies that hurt people of color, working-class communities, and other marginalized groups. The network works to support the successful implementation of federal climate investment legislation and to advance ambitious state policies. Their pathway to success relies on building the power of narratives, communities, and coalitions. (Substrategy: U.S. National Policy)
