Our communities
deserve climate justice
Although we are all negatively impacted by climate change, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) are disproportionately impacted and aren’t genuinely represented in the current environmental and climate change movement. C4 provides the resources for our communities in the fight for climate justice.

The Infrastructure
The C4 Planning Team created the infrastructure needed to launch a 3-year pilot. This infrastructure includes a vision statement, values, community agreements and Leadership Team governance. We also sketched out a 3-year plan and accompanying budget to launch and pilot the C4. Review our 3 year plan, key budget items, and understand
how C4 is set up to elevate marginalized voices in Grand Rapids.
How to Get Involved?
The plan is designed to be inclusive of companies, organizations, community groups, and individuals, including youth, who are committed to achieving the C4’s vision through the established values, community agreements and Leadership Team governance.
