Overview
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is in the midst of a critical Clean Air Act rule-making cycle that will substantially reduce global warming and other pollutants. Requirements for more fuel-efficient cars and less mercury from power plant smokestacks were adopted in 2011. The first-ever rule to limit global warming emissions from power plants is scheduled to be adopted in 2012. Because the rules are driving the shift away from coal and toward a clean energy economy in the United States, it’s critical that health, environmental, and other advocates rally to defend these rules from the intense attack they are under from the industries affected by the rules. This proposed grant would fund a coalition of national and state groups to conduct strategic and coordinated communications and organize activities to defend the existing rules and create a policy environment in which the EPA is able to continue promulgating new rules. The coalition aims to collect a record-breaking two million comments in support of the new global warming rule for power plants.

Grants to this Grantee
for legal technical assistance
This grant is for legal technical assistance for the Green Leadership Trust, a fiscally sponsored project of the Partnership Project, to help increase understanding of the current landscape as grantees engage in DEIJ-related charitable activities. The Partnership Project’s Green Leadership Trust works to build a more effective environmental movement by supporting and growing the impact and leadership of Black, Indigenous, and people of color serving on U.S. environmental nonprofit boards. Given the impact of boards on the direction of their organizations’ hiring and retention practices, programming, and partnerships, such efforts are a key part of the work to ensure the environmental movement is inclusive and relevant. Green Leadership Trust is guided first and foremost by members’ responsibilities as fiduciaries of the organizations they represent. This grant is for legal technical assistance.
