About BEA
Mission
To foster authentic cross-sector relationships to advance the progress of the environmental movement toward a just transition to equitable funding. We shift power and resources from institutions to grassroots leadership as we transform the environmental movement.
Vision
We envision a world where even the most marginalized communities are protected from the disparate effects of environmental and climate disasters, where health and livelihoods are restored, and communities are thriving. A world where environmental justice organizations are key players in decision-making spaces, and have the power, resources and influence to ensure equity is front and center of climate mitigation and ecological solutions.
Movement Accountable

A Unified Movement
Our innovative approach prioritizes building cross-sector alignment and uplifting community-based solutions, laying the foundation for a united movement. Together, we build and amplify collective power to advance equitable solutions to the climate crisis and create lasting systemic change.
