| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | AS AN ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ORGANIZATION, THE CENTER FOR EARTH, ENERGY AND DEMOCRACY (CEED) IS DEDICATED TO ENSURING THAT JUSTICE IS A FUNDAMENTAL PART OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND ENERGY STRATEGIES AND SOLUTIONS, AND THAT ALL VOICES, MOST ESPECIALLY INDIGENOUS PEOPLES, COMMUNITIES OF COLOR, AND THOSE WITH MODERATE AND LOW INCOMES, ARE MEANINGFULLY INCLUDED. OUR PRIMARY WORK IS IN THE AREAS OF CLIMATE CHANGE, ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT AND WORKING IN AND WITH COMMUNITY, DOING POPULAR EDUCATION, ORGANIZING, AND POLICY ADVOCACY AND RESEARCH ON THESE ISSUES. MUCH OF OUR DETAILED WORK CAN BE SEEN ON OUR WEBSITE (WWW.CEED.ORG). SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR NATIONAL, REGIONAL AND LOCAL WORK IN THE PAST YEAR WORKING TOWARD ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE (EJ), INCLUDE: - GREEN ZONES IN MINNEAPOLIS: AS PART OF A COMMUNITY ADVOCACY GROUP, CEED HAS BEEN PART OF THE ONGOING GREEN ZONES INITIATIVE IN THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS. THIS WORK HAS ENTAILED: 1) SUPPORTING COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES, AND PROVIDING TRAININGS AND WORKSHOPS TO CITY ADVISORY COMMITTEES, CITY STAFF, AND COMMUNITY RESIDENTS; 2) WORKING WITH THE ENERGY ADVISORY COMMITEE TO INTEGRATE CITY ENERGY PLANNING INTO GREEN ZONES. IN ADDITION, CEED IS PROVIDING TRAININGS TO STATE REGULATORY STAFF ON COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. THESE TRAININGS ARE SUPPORTING CEED'S WORK ON RESEARCH AND ASSESSMENT OF MOBILE, AND AREA SOURCE POLLUTION THAT DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACT COMMUNITIES OF COLOR AND LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES. CEED COMPLETED A GREEN ZONESHEALTH IMPACT ASSESSMENT COALITION OF COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS IN SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS. IN COLLABORATION WITH OUR PARTNERS, OUR WORK IS TO ENSURE THAT THE MINNEAPOLIS APPROACH TO GREEN ZONES IS A MODEL GROUNDED IN COMMUNITY VISION AND METRICS, AND BUILDS CLIMATE RESILIENCY IN A WAY THAT FITS THE COMMUNITY'S DEFINITION OF COMMUNITY HEALTH. - COMMUNITY TRAININGS ON ENERGY AND CLIMATE: CEED'S UNIQUE SKILLS AND BACKGROUND IN THE ENERGY SECTOR ARE BEING CALLED UPON MORE AND MORE BY OUR SISTER EJ ORGANIZATIONS NATIONWIDE AS THEY FORMULATE THEIR CLEAN ENERGY PLANS, AND THEIR LOCAL AND STATE ENERGY PLATFORMS. THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT NEED FOR THIS, AND, WITH LIMITED RESOURCES. WE ARE ALSO DEVELOPING A COMMUNITY ENERGY PLANNING TOOLKIT WHICH ANTICIPATE WILL BE UTILIZED BY COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS; ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS; URBAN PLANNERS AND OTHER CITY STAFF; AND THE PRIVATE SECTOR. AS CITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY ADOPT CLEAN ENERGY TARGETS, THIS COMMUNITY ENERGY PLANNING TOOLKIT IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT EQUITABLE AND INCLUSIVE ENERGY PLANNING. WE ARE ALSO CONTINUING OUR EDUCATION PROGRAMS, UTILIZING OUR UNIQUE CURRICULUM FOR COMMUNITY UNDERSTANDING ABOUT HEATING AND ELECTRIC ENERGY BILLS, THE REGIONAL ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE, CLIMATE EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND TOXIC ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH ISSUES IN THEIR COMMUNITY. FROM HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO COMMUNITY ELDERS, CEED HAS ADAPTED PROGRAMMING FOR DIVERSE COMMUNITIES TO EXAMINE THEIR RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR ENVIRONMENT. WE ARE CONTINUING TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO NATIONAL EJ COALITION EFFORTS TO EXPAND EJ BENEFITS IN CLIMATE MITIGATION POLICY, ALONG WITH THE TRAININGS WITH EJ ACTIVISTS ON THE GROUND TO ENGAGE IN THESE POLICY SPACES. - JUSTICE IN CLIMATE POLICY: CEED CONTINUES TO BUILD THE RESERACH NEEDED TO ENSURE THAT EQUITY IS A CENTRAL PART OF CLIMATE POLICY, WHICH HAS BEEN A MAJOR GAP IN THE ENERGY AND CLIMATE FIELD. IN COLLABORATION WITH EJ RESEARCHERS CEED IS CONTINUING TO CONDUCT RESEARCH AND ASSESSMENT ON FEDERAL AND STATE ENERGY AND CLIMATE POLICY. - EQUITY IN CLIMATE RESILIENCY PLANNING: CLIMATE CHANGE IS IMPACTING FRONTLINE EJ COMMUNITIES FIRST AND HARDEST. CEED IS CONTINUING ITS RESEARCH AND PROGRAM EVALUATION IN URBAN CLIMATE RESILIENCY. WE HAVE COMPLETED OUR COMMUNITY RESILIENCY ADVOCACY PLANNING GUIDE AND EDUCATIONAL TOOLKIT, AND ARE IN THE PROCESS OF REFINING. THIS GUIDE IS DESIGNED TO UNDERSTAND EJ AND COMMUNITY RESILIENCY IN THE CONTEXT OF CLIMATE CHANGE. - MIDWEST ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE NETWORK (MWEJN): CEED HAS BEGUN PLANNING CROSS LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES AMONG THE MWEJN ANCHOR ORGANIZATIONS IN MINNEAPOLIS (CEED) AND CHICAGO (LVEJO) TO FURTHER BUILD A MIDWEST EJ IDENTITY THAT CAN BE A POWER FORCE ON REGIONAL ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY. WE CONTINUE TO BE ON THE LEADERSHIP TEAM OF THE MIDWEST EJ NETWORK AND AS AN ANCHOR ORGANIZATION WE WORK TOWARD BUILDING A NETWORK OF ORGANIZATIONS IN THE MIDWEST. THE GOAL OF THE MIDWEST EJ NETWORK IS TO DEVELOP A REGIONAL JUST TRANSITION FRAMEWORK WHICH ADDRESSES THE UNIQUE MIDWEST POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC CONTEXT. |
