Industrial Transformation
In this moment of interlocking crises, a movement of movements is joining together to fight for an industrial transformation that unites frontline communities fighting for clean air and water, workers fighting for good jobs, and advocacy groups fighting for racial and economic equity.
We seek a new approach to industrial policy that replaces handouts for corporate polluters with protections for people and the planet. We seek comprehensive solutions that create good-paying, clean manufacturing jobs, cut industrial pollution, and build climate resilience for those hardest hit by the fossil fuel economy.

Our cross-sector movement to build a second Industrial Revolution based on 21st century innovation and clean manufacturing processes is building unity and gaining momentum. It’s time for us to win the future we all need and deserve. Join us!
