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. 

For too long, U.S. economic policies have prioritized corporate polluters, not the people and planet. Corporate trade deals and status-quo spending policies have padded the pockets of CEOs while exposing communities of color, immigrants, and working-class families to toxic pollutants, climate disasters, and low wages.

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!
