Mission & Focus Areas
The Foundation is guided by the principle that people develop and flourish best when they enjoy fundamental civil and political rights and live in a safe and healthy environment.

Racial Justice
- Expose and challenge institutionalized racism
- Ensure equal and fair treatment for all
- Strategic advocacy and policy reform
Immigrant Justice
- Protect against prejudicial treatment towards immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers
Climate Justice
- Create sustainable and fair solutions to mitigate climate change
- Build broad-based, bipartisan alliances pushing for robust and equitable energy and climate policies at federal, state, and local levels
