Our Theory of Change:

Only mass organized people power can wake up the public and force governments to act on the climate crisis

World leaders have known about the threat of climate breakdown for decades.

Fossil fuel extraction continues because the fossil fuel industry uses its incredible power to ensure that government policies protect profits at all costs.

History has shown over and over again that organized people power gets results.

Protest movements create change by building narrative power, pressuring political leaders, generating public support, and fundamentally changing political conditions.

Climate Emergency Fund Grantees have proven the effectiveness of people power, notching incredible victories.

Disruption is Critically Important

Interrupting business-as-usual forces politicians and the media to pay attention, and forces members of the public to choose a side.

Multiple studies have found that disruptive protest benefits the entire movement, whereas movements without a disruptive component are all too easily ignored.

Disruptive climate protest remains shockingly underfunded.

Climate Emergency Fund plays a critical role by funding disruptive climate movements. We fund the bold, nonviolent, disruptive climate groups building people power and changing the world.

Climate Emergency Fund relies on donations to provide much-needed financial support to the disruptive climate movement.

Please consider making a donation today and help the disruptive climate movement keep building power!

We are out of time.
