Global Justice Ecology Project (GJEP) is dedicated to exploring, exposing and addressing the interconnected root causes of social injustice, ecological destruction, and economic domination.
We envision a world in which all societies are justly and equitably organized with full participation by an engaged and informed populace–and which exist in harmony with the natural world and with one another.
Our mission is driven by two key strategies:
(1) prioritizing campaigns and issues that serve as critical leverage points for advancing systemic change;
(2) linking struggles and strengthening movements through strategic action, information, and analysis.

Women prepare traditional medicines, which they harvest from the jungle. Amador Hernadez, Lacandon Jungle, Chiapas, Mexico The Mexican government wanted to relocate this community so they could sell “carbon offsets” from the forest to polluters in California. The community resisted so the government suspended medical support to the village. There are no roads to or from Amador Hernandez and horseback is one of the few ways to travel the fifteen kilometers in and out of the community. When this photo was taken, the Mexican military was scheduled to arrive in four days to forcibly remove the community. The people of Amador Hernandez refused to leave and were never relocated. GJEP sent a team to document the community’s resistance. Photo: Orin Langelle/ GJEP (2011)
