Fighting for a

Just Transition

for Northwest Indiana

Communities & Workers

JTNWI is bringing communities together across Northwest Indiana to demand what we all need–clean water, air, and soil–while building the regenerative economy of tomorrow. Communities historically impacted by dirty industry and fossil fuel pollution deserve the power to determine their futures so that they cannot just survive but truly thrive.

Our Work

  • A group of people attending a protest or meeting, holding signs advocating for environmental protection and highlighting the importance of cleaning up power plants' coal ash. Signs include messages such as "PROTECT," "SAVE OUR WATER," "LAKE MICHIGAN," and "EPA: MAKE POWER PLANTS CLEAN UP THEIR COAL ASH."

    Protect Lake Michigan Campaign

  • Group of protesters outdoors holding signs and flags, advocating against hydrogen pollution.

    No False Solutions NWI Campaign
