Our Mission

350Brooklyn strives to counter the climate crisis through local action. We work toward a world that is just, equitable, and sustainable and where all beings can thrive.

Our Principles:

1. LOCAL

350Brooklyn focuses on local issues and local responses to wider
issues. We respond to the concerns of Brooklyn communities, and we
build Brooklynites’ power to fight the climate crisis and move toward a
more just society.

2. A JUST TRANSITION

350Brooklyn is committed to a just transition to a fair and
sustainable society
. To be just, the transition must be guided by
communities historically burdened by environmental injustice and
center the needs of displaced workers and under-resourced
communities.

3. ANTI-RACIST & INCLUSIVE

350Brooklyn is committed to principles of anti-racism and inclusiveness. We recognize that there is no liberation from the exploitation of the Earth without an end to the exploitation of human beings by one another.

4. GRASSROOTS

350Brooklyn is a grassroots organization, built on the power of ordinary people working together. We strive to be as democratic as possible, sharing decision making and open to ideas from many sources.

5. SATISFYING WORK

350Brooklyn works to create opportunities for each person to pursue satisfying work in confronting the climate crisis. We recognize that people do this work amid many other obligations, and we strive to help everyone use their skills and their time in ways that are meaningful and effective. As a volunteer-powered organization we trust in each other’s sincerity and good faith.
