Building a Movement for a Just Transition in Washington!
Coalition members influence our advocacy, inspire our action, and connect us to the frontlines of change in Washington State’s communities of color and people with lower incomes. Together, we are building power and expertise rooted in solidarity, and advancing a Just Transition at the intersection of equity and environmental and climate justice.

Front and Centered also raises funds to grant out to existing and new community members in four ways:

- Impact Strategy Grants — to advance the shared goals and collective impact of coalition members working on priority issues
- Capacity Grants — to sustain and grow coalition members’ organizational capacity to support the emerging ecosystem of BIPOC-led and focused groups
- Annual Solidarity Dividend — a member benefit to share in the new community economy we are building for a Just Transition
