Introduction
GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past 10 years, this idea has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity. Taking place this year on November 29, 2022, GivingTuesday is an opportunity for people around the world to stand together in unity—to use their individual power of generosity to remain connected and heal.
Why GivingTuesday Matters to the Just Transition Alliance
The work we do at the Just Transition Alliance each day is grounded in the focus to help communities heal, thrive and become whole again from generations of toxic pollution and exploitation of our land, physical labor and natural resources by corporate billionaires, politicians and profiteers. These threats continue to exist today in alarming ways with current legislation and corporate decision-making that will ultimately continue to harm communities of color, low-income communities, Indigenous people and workers.
You can be part of the solution: This GivingTuesday, we hope to raise $4,000 for the continuation of our educational programming and organizing efforts to create a just transition to a clean and safe future for the most vulnerable workers and communities.

@jtalliance The Workers and Communities delegation joined with #ItTakesRoots are at #COP27 to protest climate false solutions that will only continue to harm communities of color and low-income communities. We need to keep fossil fuels in the ground. We are also calling for a #justtransition that grows local economies to scale—not global economies that only line the pockets of the mega-rich.
