Our Mission and Vision

Global Justice Ecology Project (GJEP) is dedicated to exploring, exposing and addressing the interconnected 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–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.

Our Principles

At GJEP, we believe in the fundamental equality of all peoples and the intrinsic value of the natural world. Our work is guided by the following core principles:

  • Confronting oppression: We challenge power elites and amplify the voices of the most marginalized and least powerful.
  • Championing diversity and equal rights: We work to break down barriers, fostering common goals and shared ideas for collective liberation.
  • Cooperation over competition: We prioritize grassroots power and collaboration to build movements for justice and systemic transformation.

Our Philosophy of Activism

  • Uncompromising stance: We hold ourselves to high standards and maintain a clear, principled approach.
  • Holistic analysis: We make systemic connections to understand the full scope of social and environmental issues.
  • Building trust with Indigenous Peoples: We cultivate strong, accountable relationships with Indigenous Peoples, their communities and their organizations.
  • Strategic Action: We view clear strategic action as essential for creating meaningful change.
  • Efficiency and effectiveness: We focus our resources to maximize our outcomes.
  • Winning: Above all, we are committed to mobilizing support and solidarity to secure victories for communities in struggle.
