PA Climate Equity Table
PA CASA
In 2021, Pennsylvania grantee partners formed the Pennsylvania Climate Equity Table to coordinate statewide popular education on environmental and climate justice, build grassroots power to reduce the stranglehold of the fossil fuel industry on local and state politics, and reduce the harmful health impacts of petrochemical industries on communities throughout the state. Our grantee partners collaborated across immigrant rights, rural organizing, environmental justice, and labor movements through the Climate Equity Table. They successfully advocated for the U.S. Steel Corporation to abandon its oil and gas fracking plans at its Pittsburgh steel mill. They were also at the forefront of a year-long effort that resulted in Governor Wolf’s executive order in October 2021 to strengthen the state’s Office of Environmental Justice and ensure that low-income communities and communities of color are no longer adversely affected by the health impacts of climate change.
