Our Mission

TCM is building power for a national transformation that rapidly restores a safe climate and creates a just and democratic society. 

Our Vision

Our vision is a safe climate, democratic society, and just economy where all communities and the living world flourish for generations to come. 

Our Values

We are committed to radical and necessary transformation. 

We are dedicated to winning solutions that match the scale, scope, and speed necessary to avoid collapse and build a better world. We fight for what is needed to keep our communities safe.

We believe in the power of everyday people to make change.

It will take millions to respond to the climate emergency, so we work to get as many people involved as possible. We believe that when people come together, extraordinary things can and do happen.

In times of emergency, community is our strength. 

We take the time to foster mutual relationships. We learn from and build relationships with communities, groups, and movements that share our values in order to work toward a more equitable and just world.

We learn together. 

We reject perfectionism. We embrace honest mistakes as an opportunity to learn, grow, and transform.

We believe that dismantling systemic injustice must be at the heart of the climate movement. 

Anti-racism and anti-oppression are key to our victory. We strive to tackle the root of oppressive and destructive systems that harm our communities with necessary and thoughtful urgency.

We elevate marginalized voices in our fight against the climate emergency.

We can’t heal the planet when those closest to the problem are left out of creating the solutions. Repairing our world means listening to and centering their voices. 

We advocate for equitable and just responses that give power to people.

Right now, decisions that are destroying our world are largely made by the powerful few. Building a world that works for everyone requires collective and democratic forms of power that allows all of our voices to be heard.

We are dedicated to building a world that values people and our planet over profit.

We want to transform our economy into one that recognizes the importance of a safe and livable climate and of the natural world, as well one that creates equitable value rather than prioritizing exploitation, hoarding and extractive profit.
