3) Combats Racism & Oppression: 

We support economic justice work that: 

Fosters systemic economic security: Economic security is a necessary baseline for people to survive and thrive, especially amidst conditions of rising inequality. We support efforts that systemically mitigate economic precarity and secure a path to a more stable future for poor and low-income people.  

We environmental justice work that: 

Addresses environmental harms: BIPOC and low-income communities are disproportionately harmed by environmental hazards. We support systemic efforts to prevent and repair these environmental disparities and ensure affected communities can meaningfully engage in forging solutions.
