Catalysts for a New Democracy

Catalysts for a New Democracy (CND) is a call forward — a bold invitation to follow the leadership of rural, Black frontline communities shaping a more just and livable world.

We are stepping forward with renewed resolve as we come together with communities to unblock the pathways to health, wellness, fulfillment, and self-determination that have been made purposefully difficult to navigate.

Fossil Fuel Foolishness Persists but the Resistance is Rising

Fossil Fueled Foolery 3.0 (FFF 3.0) exposes the fossil fuel industry’s top ten manipulation tactics, including the false choices they routinely present to Black communities. FFF 3.0 also shares examples of local leaders in the U.S. and across the globe who see through the corporate playbook, resist the falsehoods, and clear the way for true justice and a regenerative economy. The first FFF report was issued in 2019, followed by FFF 2.0 in 2021, to ensure that NAACP branches, chapters, and state conferences are fully aware of the practices employed by the fossil fuel industry to entice Black communities to act against their own interests. The original reports shed light on the deceptive tactics used by fossil fuel conglomerates and their supporters at the expense of communities most affected by their pollution. Over the past five years, more revolts have halted corporate greed in its tracks, many of which are described in FFF 3.0. Don't miss this quick guide to the tricks and traps set by polluting industries for your community — and what we can do to resist!
