IT’S A CLIMATE EMERGENCY!
350Juneau is made up of dedicated people who are fighting for an end to our reliance on fossil fuels and for a just, safe and healthy world for all of us—equally.
350JUNEAU – Climate Action for Alaska
350Juneau is building a local, diverse grassroots movement to address the root causes of climate disruption through justice-based solutions. We work on systemic change, holding our leaders accountable to climate science and social justice. We work at the local, state, and national level through education, public policy advocacy, and mobilizing people to take creative and effective action.
Alaska is ground zero for adverse climate impacts, warming at twice the rate as the rest of the country. Alaska also bears responsibility for significantly contributing, through fossil fuel extraction, to this climate catastrophe.

WE BELIEVE IN CLIMATE JUSTICE
Climate change isn’t a distant, abstract problem — it’s here now. People all over the world are feeling the impacts, from Alaska Native villages that are going underwater to indigenous land being exploited for fossil fuel extraction. The fight against climate change is a fight for justice.
WE’RE STRONGER WHEN WE COLLABORATE
Climate change is not just an environmental issue, or a social justice issue, or an economic issue — it’s all three at once. It’s one of the biggest challenges humanity has ever faced and we are going to have to work together with other groups and movements to solve it. A solution requires building diverse, inclusive coalitions that are strong enough to put pressure on governments and stand up to the fossil fuel industry.
WE BELIEVE IN OUR COLLECTIVE GRASSROOTS POWER
By now, it’s obvious that world leaders are incapable of solving this problem on their own. We need to get out in the streets and make our voices heard, we need to pressure our leaders to act on the urgency of the climate crisis, and we need to stop the funding and subsidizing of the fossil fuel industry — that is how we demonstrate our power as a movement, and that is how we force our governments to make the right decisions. Our movement is nonviolent and empowering.
