About Rogue Climate:

Since 2013, Rogue Climate has been building a climate movement in Southern Oregon and the South Coast to achieve solutions to climate change that will result in energy justice, sustainable jobs, and a healthy climate and communities. We have also played a lead organizing role to stop new fossil fuel infrastructure like the Jordan Cove LNG fracked gas export project, move forward local and state clean energy policies, and more. Recently, the South Coast team has been organizing to ensure climate justice solutions for the Coos Bay Estuary, ran a campaign against a destructive state-wide policy, and hosted community listening sessions about offshore wind.  We are committed to working for climate solutions that result in a just transition to renewable energy that benefits rural communities, low-income communities, Latino/a/x, Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color.
