We’ve proven that by working together, we can take on corporations threatening our most precious resources and our planet – and win! They may have deep pockets, but we have incredible champions like you on our side.
Against All Odds is a call to action and celebration of our community – people who care deeply about building a livable future for all – like you! Because of you, our grassroots movement has the power to win – no matter the odds.

We are reflecting on 20 incredible years of protections for our food, water, and climate. We recently united with members in community and solidarity to look back on our hard-fought wins, energize ourselves to tackle the difficult challenges ahead, and we heard from experts, experienced organizers, and the next generation of climate activists. We:
- Recognized our honoree activists Ken Schles, Steve Max, and Jackie Kendall
- Heard keynotes from Zephyr Teachout and Senator Cory Booker
- Learned about current campaigns, organizing tactics, and the future of our movement
