Testimonials

The sharp analysis, the commitment to radical politics, and understanding that social, political, economic, and ecological injustice are deeply connected; that the need for systemic change and an understanding also of the importance of history, addressing the injustices of colonialism, learning from earlier struggles is at the heart of their work. It's why their work is so important and impressive and needed today.

They have contributed their expertise in fields like media photography, genetically modified trees, and climate justice in general. And they have not only been a great source of expertise but also a very inspiring activism, a source which has contributed a lot.

I have always been impressed with GJEP's ability to organize across movements and I am really grateful for the work that they do with Indigenous communities all over the world, defending wilderness. GJEP is a rare example of an organization whose strategy addresses the entirety of the global crisis that we're facing connecting economic exploitation, social justice, and ecology.
