movement building

Throughout history, broad-based grassroots movements have been the most effective means to advance justice. Breach works to expand the climate justice movement, build solidarity with frontline communities, and create strategic alliances with non-traditional constituencies.

Building power in the movement is our first priority - we are committed to following the lead of the grassroots organizing in the communities who face the greatest risks. We work with communities who want to bolster their existing work through strategic campaigns and organizing.

legal advocacy

Law should be a means to promote justice. But it does not replace the central role of a grassroots constituency in defining and demanding justice. Our legal advocacy echoes the movement’s calls for justice and the need to center equity and account for historical and current discrimination.

Breach develops innovative legal strategies that listen and respond to the present needs of the climate justice movement and frontline communities. Drawing on our team’s experience building grassroots legal advocacy capacity in the Global South and supporting some of the highest-profile climate litigation in the United States and around the world, Breach utilizes the law to help communities create tangible change.

storytelling

We all have something to lose to the climate crisis. The crisis impacts all of us in vastly different ways. When we come together to share our stories we can build a powerful and unified movement.

We highlight the voices and stories of frontline communities most vulnerable to this crisis. Sharing stories allows us to see that across regions, countries, languages, and cultures, what unites us is stronger than what separates us.

We learn from each other’s stories and traditions to shape the future we need.
