Help make Austin & Central Texas a hub for climate justice!
ABOUT AUSTIN BEYOND COAL:
In 2014, hundreds of Austinites continued the hard work of pushing the Austin City Council to move beyond coal. Citizen advocates from across the city came together to successfully win a 2022 retirement date for Austin's share of the Fayette coal plant, a 2018 retirement date for the Decker gas plant, a goal of 55% clean energy by 2025, and studying whether or not we need any new fossil fuels at all to make it all affordable.

Collaborating with staff, interns, community leaders and like-minded volunteers is how we're going to build on our previous success and work toward stronger energy efficiency programs, to expand access to equitable local solar, and how we're going to rid Central Texas of fossil fuel power plants & dirty coal mines and transition to a 21st Century clean energy economy.

ABOUT ATX EJ:
Open the paper. Watch the news. Look around town. Austin is changing. Her people are changing. And our climate is changing right along with it. As a team, ATXEJ is organizing to consistently reflect on Austin's history while working alongside historically marginalized communities in order to support those whom are most impacted by air pollution, poverty, and displacement.

We hear about "affordability", about gentrification. We see working-class residents being displaced and family homes & businesses being torn down, all while high priced condos & offices take their place. But what's often overlooked is that the people most impacted by "affordability" and gentrification are also the people most impacted by air pollution, high utility bills, food deserts, illegal dumping, and the lack of access to quality healthcare, good schools, and safe neighborhoods.

As a community of neighbors, students, parents, organizers, and environmentalists, we are calling on Austinites to come learn more about the intersections of these fights, to learn about the history of environmental justice in Austin, to share stories and experiences, and explore how you can play a vital role in making sure Austin doesn't become the greenest, least affordable city in the US.
