Dear John,

We are excited to announce that after 8 years with our fiscal sponsor
Movement Strategy Center, Climate Justice Alliance is officially a 501(c)3
organization!

This is a big achievement and we want to show appreciation to everybody who
has supported us along the way, especially all of our member organizations
who keep CJA true to it's values and principles! We are trying our best,
staying steady and mindful for a healthy and sustainable alliance.

We can't wait to dive into all of the opportunities that this is going to
open up for our alliance, and we will continue to share them with you along
the way!

CHANGE THE STORY: CJA MEMBERS SHARE STORIES AND PRACTICES OF
TRANSFORMATION

In our ongoing work to shift culture, CJA members recently joined a panel
discussion to share innovative approaches to fighting the bad and building
the new. Hosted by Natalia Linares of the New Economy Coalition, Michelle
Mascarenhas-Swan of Movement Generation; Doria Robinson of Cooperation
Richmond & Urban Tilth; and Najari Smith of Cooperation Richmond & Rich
City Rides share how they are organizing against extractive economic
systems and creating new and just models of regenerative economic
development for frontline communities. Watch the panel here [4]. We hope it
will inspire you as much as it did us!

FORWARD.

Rich City Rides, a cooperative bike shop creating opportunities to improve
health and economics by promoting cycling as a social, sustainable and
green mode of transportation in Richmond, California!

“We share the stress, we share the profits, we share the challenges, and
we share the victories, all evenly,” says Mr. Smith, who wants to help
incubate other cooperative businesses in the area. And, as always, he hopes
to bring even more Richmond residents into the biking fold. Read the full
story here! [5]

THIS MONTH, CJA MEMBERS WORKED TIRELESSLY TO...

CJA JOINS 160+ ORGANIZATIONS, CALLS FOR BIGGER AND BOLDER RECOVERY PLAN
FROM CONGRESS AND THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION

Climate Justice Alliance and nearly 200 other organizations—representing
millions of members from unions and workers, climate and racial justice
organizations—just called on Congress to send bold legislation to Biden
by August to secure a Jobs & Recovery Plan that will actually meet the
moment. Lowering investments to cater to Republicans just for the sake of
appearing bi-partisan isn't going to get the job done at this critical
moment in time. READ THE NEW YORK TIMES LETTER [9] we signed that ran this
week for more information and learn more about the THRIVE Act that would
put 15 million people back to work and address the climate justice
emergency we currently face here. [10]
