Climate justice in your neighborhood
We are fighting to make healthy homes and green jobs available to all, no exceptions. Join us.
People’s Climate and equity plan
In 2025, we increased the amount to $14 million annualy.
In 2024, Unidos MN and partner organizations launched a new Sustainable Homes program, powered by green union jobs, that makes healthy and affordable clean energy homes accessible to a limited number of low income residents. We are now working to move the city of Minneapolis to expand funding and access to that program, and make affordable clean energy from the earth - using geothermal networks - available to all residents, no exceptions. Join us to learn how you can take part, together with others in your neighborhood.
We are asking for continued investment to address the climate and racial equity crises simultaneously, block by block. Our goals are:
Make every building in Minneapolis comfortable, affordable, and carbon-free by 2040
Build community wealth and reduce the racial wealth gap by creating equitable pathways into union jobs in the clean energy economy
Ensure every person has a safe, healthy, and climate-resilient neighborhood connected by accessible, carbon-free transportation
Full funding is necessary to make sure this work is done neighborhood by neighborhood rather than house by house, so that all of the benefits of the clean energy transition are fully accessible to low income communities of color. Join us
Equity and Climate
Minnesota is one of the most pervasively racially unequal places in the United States by almost every measure, including unemployment, educational outcomes, home ownership, incarceration, police encounters, and household income.
We believe everyone has a right to clean air, water and a safe, healthy community. To ensure those rights are protected, we build power to shape policy, hold politicians and polluters accountable, and influence elections.
We are working to ensure that Latinos and Minnesota working families have a strong voice in the movement for climate justice and within the environmental movement and influence the environmental policies and decisions that impact our health and environment.
