Welcome!
As a regional intermediary, the EJ Hub team is focused on listening, building connections, and pushing for meaningful collaboration. We have interacted with hundreds of nonprofit organizations, grassroots coalitions, funders, capacity builders, and allies to better understand what is needed to continue the momentum of environmental justice work despite shifts at the federal level. This microsite is a product of those discussions and broad outreach.
This space aims to serve as a connective tissue for the many hardworking organizations that continue to fight for solutions for the region’s many environmental challenges. These organizations have been advocating, organizing, convening, and pivoting as federal priorities have shifted, and the EJ Hub intends to serve as a support system for those efforts.
We will use this microsite to amplify resources and share information that you can relay to your local networks.
EJ Hub Initiatives
EJ Hub Navigation Sessions and Office Hours
Navigation Sessions highlight tools, resources, and funding pathways, while creating space for shared learning and peer connection throughout the region. Next session: Date pending
Office Hours provide a smaller, interactive sessions where participants can bring questions about their own projects. This is a space for deeper conversation, problem-solving, and tailored support around the topics introduced in the Navigation Session.
Request Strategy or Convening Support
The EJ Hub is committed to supporting organizations that are organizing, coalition-building, and advocating to advance climate and clean energy projects and policies throughout New England.
Team members have supported a range of convenings and in some cases the EJ Hub can offer small convening awards to help with some of the expenses of meeting (translators. food, stipends, transportation, etc).
EJ Hub Resource Sharing: Aftercare Guidance
Our Navigation Sessions are fast-paced and packed with information. To make it easier to revisit what was shared, we’ve created an Aftercare Document that includes presentation slides, key takeaways, links to tools and resources, and contact information for our partners.
This document is designed to help you dig deeper into the topics we covered and stay connected to opportunities highlighted during the session.
