20+ years of fighting for forests, climate and social justice
Since 2003 GJEP has built campaigns and alliances around the globe to challenge corporate destruction of communities and ecosystems. We expose these issues through original reporting, photography and video to amplify the voices of impacted communities.
Our mission
We build local, national and international alliances to address the intertwined root causes of social injustice, ecological destruction and economic domination.
GJEP envisions a world in which all societies are justly and equitably organized with full participation by an engaged and informed populace, existing in harmony with the natural world and with one another.

About Our Work
GJEP focuses on three major areas of work that overlap through our programs.
Forest Protection
Since 2000 we’ve led the global movement that has stopped genetically engineered trees (GE trees) from irreversably invading our forests and ecosystems. We also mobilize to stop industrial tree plantations that destroy ecosystems and communities. We further highlight and support grassroots efforts to restore native forest, including bringing back the wild American chestnut to US forests. [More on GE trees and restoration work.]
Human Rights
We stand with Indigenous Peoples and local communities fighting for their land, culture, and rights. We support and amplify their efforts to stop destructive activities like mining, logging, and plantations that threaten their lands and lives. [Learn more about our work in Chile and Brazil.]
Climate Justice
Since 2004, we’ve helped build global climate justice movements that demand real solutions to climate change. We organize for system change, not fake corporate "solutions" like forest carbon offsets that displace communities and worsen environmental damage. [Read our statement on climate justice.]
Our programs
Our programs inform and mobilize the public on critical and emerging issues in solidarity with impacted communities.

Global Justice Media
Our Global Justice Media Program includes our Breaking Green podcast, concerned photography and our photography book Portraits of Struggle, and original documentary videos shot on location.
Fiscal Sponsorship
We support small nonprofits by becoming their fiscal sponsor. This allows them to focus on their programs as we enable them to receive tax-deductible grants and donations, and provide administrative support.
