Young Evangelicals for Climate Action

We are coming together & taking action to overcome the climate crisis as part of our Christian discipleship & witness. Principal actions:

Mobilizing our generation of evangelicals

to act and advocate together. We are building a movement of young evangelicals to overcome the adverse impacts of climate change and pursue sustainable lives that reduce our own carbon impact.

We at the Austin Chapter of the Native Plant Society of Texas promote the research, conservation and utilization of native plants and plant habitats through education, outreach and example.

We gather for meetings on the THIRD Tuesday of most months. Doors open at 6:30pm for meet/greet, refreshments, seed exchange and casual engagement. We have a guest speaker/formal presentation at 7pm, followed by a membership meeting.

Come join us at one of our meetings or field trips — membership is not required. Bring a friend or family member and join the fun!

Portland Harbor Community Coalition

Portland Harbor Community Coalition is a group of individuals and organizations representing the most-impacted groups (Native Americans, African-Americans, immigrants and houseless) in the billion dollar Willamette River Superfund cleanup.

Founded in 2012, our Mission is to raise the voices and build the capacities of local environmental justice communities, ensuring that these communities are able to influence the final outcome of the Portland Harbor Superfund cleanup process.

At Toxics Action Center, we believe everyone has the right to clean air and clean water, that our communities should be sustainable and that our government should operate responsively and democratically.

Our children should be able to grow up free of exposure to dangerous chemicals and with every opportunity to thrive.

Yet too often, these fundamental rights are ignored or bypassed, endangering the health of both people and the environment.

The Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) empowers higher education faculty, administrators, staff and students to be effective change agents and drivers of sustainability innovation.

We enable members to translate information into action by offering essential resources and professional development to a diverse, engaged community of sustainability leaders.
