Frontline Resource Institute is entering a new era! Our conceptual committee collaborated with me and fellow EDF staff to create a new strategic plan that will chart our course through 2029. FRI has built powerful momentum in a short time: from helping frontline organizations secure $138 million in federal and philanthropic funding to sharing resources and knowledge with a network of 400 frontline leaders. Now we must seize this momentum to ensure FRI can continue delivering results for the EJ movement, centering the work of frontline leaders and community-based organizations. The new plan aligns FRI’s efforts with a vision for a just, sustainable, and joyful future where frontline organizations are leaders, delivering environmental and climate justice for all. We know that the people closest to the problem are the closest to the solutions. By centering community voices, we have the power to bring climate and environmental justice to the center of the environmental movement.

🎉 Day 6 of our Texas Impact Enterprise Awards honoree announcements! We continue to celebrate by spotlighting another group of outstanding Commendees. Join us in congratulating today's honorees! Their dedication and impactful efforts are driving positive change and making a substantial difference in our communities. SOUTH UNION COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT INC: Our mission is to “sow the seeds of success” that introduces youth to a system of creativity where they can see their values/specialty becoming a vital tool. But most importantly, we want them to know that their experiences will be captured via video and may become a future show called “The Setting Sons/Daughters of Sunnyside” to share our impact. Texas PACE Authority: Texas PACE Authority (TPA) was intentionally designed as a servant-leader organization to enable competitive financial returns, drive positive environmental impacts, and enhance the well-being of all Texas communities. Since 2015, we've grown to serve 97 local governments and facilitated almost $500 million in energy and water-saving investments for businesses and nonprofits across Texas. Texas Water Trade: Texas Water Trade (TWT) has developed and implemented a portfolio of replicable, market-based solutions that our state needs to ensure a reliable supply of freshwater for its people, nature, and economy. When leveraged, these solutions demonstrate the progress Texans can make when we manage our water resources collaboratively rather than competitively. TWT brings together diverse stakeholders, including conservation organizations, institutional water managers, and commercial water users, to secure water where it is most critical to the health and prosperity of our communities – in aquifers, rivers, and coastal habitats. #TexasImpactAwards #CommunityImpact #Changemakers
Successful partnerships with international entities, including donors, enable RLOs impact. These connections support RLOs’ ability to fundraise, spot opportunities for regional and international advocacy, solicit support from international actors when seeking solutions for intractable local problems, and build rapport and partnerships with like-minded organizations operating around the world.

How many fora and platforms exist where you live or work that meet the principles and approaches this document champion and support? https://lnkd.in/e9mwZYiR
