This project developed a frontline community member-led collaborative that created and applied a racial equity framework, shifted power structures, and enacted just solutions to climate change.

Convening work for frontline groups and institutions must be identified and prepared to create consistent space for connection, collective learning, cooperative decision making, and community building. Consistency to meeting and committed members who show up is key.   

Ensuring that an entity has an efficient avenue for providing stipends for community member participation is crucial; economic justice needs to be integrated into the work, including training for folks to receive financial recognition (income) in a way that is safe for them.
