USCAN
Campaigns
The USCAN campaign definition, as developed by its members, states: “A campaign is a developed strategy that utilizes healing-centered engagement in its design. Tactics and demands will aim to create specific changes (social, political, economic, etc.) by demonstrably advancing racial and economic justice, as well as addressing the needs of marginalized communities. A campaign is nimble and can adapt to meet the needs of the people most impacted.”
The two campaigns selected by the members are:
Fast, Full, Fair Fossil Phase-Out
Led by a coalition of USCAN member organizations, including the Institute for Policy Studies, Oil Change International, the Hip Hop Caucus, the Union of Concerned Scientists, and the Center for Biological Diversity, this campaign seeks to pressure U.S. leaders to phase out fossil fuels in the United States. Its goal is to accelerate the transition to renewable energy sources and reduce the country's reliance on fossil fuels, thereby addressing environmental concerns while promoting economic and social justice.
Power 4 Southern People NOT Southern Company
Led by Arm in Arm, GASP, The People’s Justice Council, Energy Alabama, and Georgia Interfaith Power and Light, this campaign aims to hold Southern Company accountable for its climate impact and to prevent greenwashing practices that exploit its customers. By raising awareness about the company's practices and advocating for sustainable energy solutions, the campaign seeks to empower Southern communities and ensure that their needs are prioritized over corporate interests.
