Become a Member

USCAN members are organizations working for a just and equitable climate future. Here's how to apply.

What Membership Means

USCAN members are organizations working for a just and equitable response to the climate crisis — grassroots groups, faith communities, labor organizations, policy shops, and youth networks across 34 states and D.C.

What you get
Access to issue-based action teams and listservs where members coordinate strategy, share resources, and build campaigns together. Connection to a national network that links local organizing to federal and international climate processes. Visibility through the member directory, the Just Transitions Journal, and USCAN's convenings.

What's expected
Active participation — attending network meetings, contributing to action teams, and working alongside other members rather than alongside USCAN alone. Adherence to the Jemez Principles for Democratic Organizing and USCAN's JEDI Statement in your organizational practice. Confirmation that your organization accepts no funding from fossil fuel companies or fossil fuel–affiliated political and charitable organizations.

Before you apply

All members affirm the Jemez Principles and USCAN's JEDI statement, and sign the No Fossil Fuel Funding Affidavit.
