Positive Environmental Impacts
Grassroots Impact is a black-led organization dedicated to providing targeted education for black communities about the importance of transitioning to sustainable and clean energy sources. We strive to make this transition accessible, viable, and equitable for everyone. We are working to create a future where everyone can benefit from clean energy sources, regardless of their race, ethnicity, or socio-economic background.
Through our education and outreach initiatives, we provide accessible resources that help individuals, communities, and organizations understand the importance of sustainability and clean energy. We are passionate about making a difference and empowering our communities to make informed decisions about their environment and their future.
OUR MISSION

We strive to create policy and legislation that protects the environment and its inhabitants. We work to increase awareness and understanding of the effects of climate change and environmental degradation on marginalized communities. We also strive to facilitate dialogue between community members and government organizations, with the goal of creating equitable and sustainable solutions. Our ultimate goal is to create a world where everyone can live in a safe and healthy environment.
