Join Forces with Climate Justice Hive:
Empower your mission, build collaboration, and shift the paradigm.
Don’t organize alone.
Facing the ecological and social challenges of our lives, we have identified these specific barriers to creating climate justice:
Siloed conversations
- competing for resources
- short-term grant-cycle goals
Legacy of systemic injustice
- Disempowered communities
- Exploitation and extraction
Cultural sense of being separate from the rest of the natural world
- Economic system of infinite growth on a finite planet
- Climate injustice and climate catastrophes

The Hive was born from a collaboration between Naropa University’s Joanna Macy Center for Resilience & Regeneration and the folx at Boulder Dot Earth to collect and share up-to-date information about who’s doing what and where, ‘cross-pollinating’ neighborhoods, communities, and sectors by weaving connections from grassroots to grass-tops as well as across the non-profit, academic, business, and government worlds.
“Recently in the larger field, social justice and earth justice have people looking deeper and saying, ‘Oh, the same extractive and exploitive systems underlie both and then that ripples out into everything.’ Earth is our collective home, there is no other planet; we’re all in this together, whether we agree with each other or not. So to me, when I say climate justice, it is all of it— it’s food systems, it’s transportation, it’s housing, it’s wage theft, it’s immigration issues, it’s all of those things that are part of a particular narrative that sees us as separate from one another and that it’s possible for someone to benefit while others are oppressed. That’s just not how things actually work long term; it’s wonderful that we live on a planet where that just isn’t the truth. We have to realize we are completely inseparable and dependent upon each other. Both on other humans but also realize that every breath we take is a gift from the trees and every out breath, without any effort on our part, is food for them. We were built to be co-developing and we evolved to be a keystone species on this planet. Some things I’ve learned from Indigenous scholars, like Lyla June, is that in the geological record wherever humans appeared in a place, biodiversity grew. We are capable of being caretakers of this planet and I think we’re actually wired for that much more than we’re wired for fear or loss of that sense of connectedness.”
