1000 Grandmothers for Future Generations
A compassionate and non-violent volunteer group
Who We Are
We are elder women and allies stepping up to the urgency of the climate crisis. We act in support of the rights of Native Americans and other frontline communities. We believe that we cannot address the climate crisis without addressing systemic racism and the threats to democracy. That is what climate justice means to us. 1000 Grandmothers allows us to augment our individual voices and impact by providing opportunities to act collectively. We find ways to use the particular influence of our being generational grandmothers to strengthen the Climate Justice Movement. Our Principles include collective nonviolent action, community building, and kindness.
WHAT DO WE DO?
We show up.
As Grandmothers have a lot to say about a lot of things – but we want to do more than bring our wisdom. We know that those who will lead us into the future, need us to have their backs. They are counting on us to show up.

* Notes about joining
We help every grandmother (and ally) find multiple ways and levels to join in our work.
And we welcome everyone to do as much or as little, whenever, and for as long as they wish.
We ask for your address because it allows us to contact you when we target particular legislators who are key to passing critical environmental justice legislation. We won’t clutter up your inbox with too many announcements. And we promise never to share your information.
