In celebration of the 10 years since our beginning as the Our Power
Campaign at the first national Climate Justice Alliance gathering [3] on
Navajo Nation lands hosted by the Black Mesa Water Coalition, we are
excited to reveal our new CJA logo.

_“We needed something that represents us in each sunflower petal, ocean
wave, and Sankofa feather – with visual cues that convey we are fierce,
powerful, bold, and united. __This logo is a symbolic representation of
both our evolution with the changing climate and our firm groundedness in
our roots and principles,”_ says Monica Atkins, Co-Executive Director of
the Climate Justice Alliance.

This refreshed logo designed by MJ from the Design Action Collective [5],
including a version that commemorates our 10 years of building Our Power by
César Maxit [6], is the result of a monthslong committee process to
develop imagery that represents the grassroots power and communities at the
center of social change, the deep Afro-Indigenous roots within climate
justice leadership, and themes of joy, growth, hope, and resistance.

At the center of our logo remains the sunflower, a grassroots symbol of
climate justice that has spread its seeds [7] across the movement space,
blooming in climate justice art by our comrades around the world.

_“We opened the People’s Climate March in September 2014 with 400,000
people marching with sunflowers. Today, we are leaderful, matriarchal, and
intergenerational. We started with the idea of becoming the center of
gravity of the climate movement, and now we are.”_ said Elizabeth
Yeampierre, CJA board member and executive director of UPROSE [8].

_“When we began, we fought for the legitimacy of ‘climate justice,’
and now it's so mainstream that we fight to keep it true to its roots. We
pollinated and together, we are winning,”_ said Atkins.
