About Democracy Green

Founded in 2018, Democracy Green has led numerous successful campaigns that have produced real change in North Carolina and nationwide. Through community education workshops, enviro-democracy tours, legal petitions against dirty polluters, and online petitions organized by our dedicated team and community members, we work to hold leaders and decision-makers accountable for their actions, moving them to rethink what is possible.

Initially known as Green Responders, Democracy Green was birthed in the storm waters of Hurricane Florence, delivering life-saving rescue assistance, direct relief, and mutual aid and waging a statewide demand to state lawmakers to release critical disaster aid dollars. 


Out of this crisis came a long-term vision for justice for Environmental and Climate Justice communities and the need for democracy reform to achieve this justice. From this, Democracy Green became the official name carefully chosen by experienced community organizers, policy analysts, educators, and native-North Carolinians, who stood together to be ready to weather every storm, whether natural disasters or human-made.

Where We Build Power

How We Frame the Bigger Picture When Building BIPOC Political and Economic Power

Advocacy

Advocacy is an essential pillar of our Environmental Justice Protection Movement. There is strength in numbers, and we work to inform and encourage others to take a stand for what they believe in. 

We can't sustain this movement without worthwhile partnerships. Democracy Green has built an environment of support and helpful resources to make sure that Partnership is always a priority. Our success is driven by the hearts, minds, and expertise of community.

Governance

Once policies are enacted, governance is vital in ensuring an ongoing watchful eye, community input, and routine maintenance of policies that support the community. 

Democracy Green builds and sustains relationships with local, state, and federal government agencies and electeds to consistently monitor implementation, activation, and enforcement of laws to provide meaningful feedback, community leader introductions to appropriate agencies to include local needs, direct advocacy, and grassroots lobbying.

Policy

At our core, Democracy Green's theory of change centers on liberation and a liberatory framework for Black and brown people. We understand that end policy has limitations in the ultimate design of liberation.

However, due to the construct of our eco-political landscape in this nation, we understand that to engage in policy advocacy is to move transformative progressive solutions forward for our communities. We demand policies that include budget and resource allocation, clearly articulate community support and involvement in the process, and enforcement mechanisms to ensure the policy is effective.
