The Fair Future Movement is uniting the community for environmental justice.
Join our network of community members and organizations located throughout Wisconsin to get involved!
Why We’re Here
We believe in the power of community. When we’re united, we will overcome the racism and systems of oppression that have fractured our community, created unhealthy living environments and power imbalances, and exacerbated environmental injustices.
When we collaborate, uplift each other, and hold each other accountable, we will live in a community where everyone is valued and respected. Everyone will have autonomy, be engaged in the decisions that impact their well-being, and have what they need to thrive.
Who We Are
Co-lead by Mandi McAlister and Jasmine Roberson, we’re a network of 160 community members and 25 organizations located throughout Wisconsin. The following organizations have joined in as Committed Partners:
What We Do
Since Spring 2021, we’ve been building a multiracial and multicultural community. Through our initiatives, we connect and engage with folks who have been excluded or not involved in the traditional environmental movement, work to dismantle systemic barriers to participation, and amplify and organize around current community initiatives.
Community Learning Series
At the beginning of each year, community members are invited to work together through a selected book to explore systems of oppression.
Community members gather virtually once a month to discuss what they’re learning, how these topics connect to current events, and how they can take action to make an impact.
In February 2024, Kyla Smith will facilitate the series around the book Intersectional Environmentalist by Leah Thomas.
Collective Action Alerts
Every two weeks, community members receive a Collective Action Alert email with three suggested actions they can take in our community.
Through Collective Action Alerts we act in unison, work towards environmental justice, and target our collective power to support the needs of the community.
Fair Future Meetups
Once a quarter, we gather in person in Milwaukee to get to know one another better and be in community. We enjoy each other’s company, celebrate our successes, and connect through art, food, and music.
Through our Fair Future Meetups, we build strong relationships to better support each other and keep our movement unified.
