We are Flagstaff’s oldest grassroots, community supported advocacy organization.

Our mission is to achieve a sustainable, just, and thriving Flagstaff through community education, civic  engagement, and advocacy. We advocate for policies that will lead Flagstaff’s transition towards a more resilient, sustainable and just community and economy. We do this by:

  • elevating the importance of stewardship of our built and natural environments,
  • minimizing energy consumption and natural resource destruction,
  • strengthening the local and green economy and fostering an active citizenry.
