who we are

grassroots oriented

Breach’s seasoned climate justice advocacy team offers expertise in grassroots organizing, strategic communications, and U.S. and international legal advocacy to build the capacity of frontline communities fighting for climate justice.

We believe that solutions to the climate crisis must come from a diverse and empowered grassroots base. We center frontline individual and community voices to ensure that the climate movement does not sacrifice these communities, reinforce historic wrongs, or create new injustices in the name of urgency.

worker self-directed

Operating within the Nonprofit Industrial Complex, even the best-intentioned nonprofits can create strict hierarchies in the workplace and engage with frontline communities in a rigid, top-down, and competitive way. Our team has seen this first-hand.

Breach was born in 2020, in the midst of a successful unionizing campaign at another nonprofit. We are a unionized, worker-led organization, and have created a progressive workplace model that attempts to push back on harmful employment practices that are common in the nonprofit sector. We prioritize care, connection, and building solidarity and power within labor-climate organizing.
