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.

In recognition of the ongoing impact of institutionalized racism in the US, the rising threats of xenophobia worldwide, and the devastating effects of climate change—particularly on people of color and low-income communities—the Foundation supports efforts to:

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
  • Support grassroots organizing and advocacy led by communities most affected by climate change
