True freedom requires a thriving climate

Climate freedom is the inherent right of all individuals to breathe clean air, drink pure water, and enjoy unspoiled natural spaces for generations to come.

Climate freedom is a
basic american right

It is the freedom to live in a healthy environment, free from the harmful effects of pollution and environmental degradation. 

Climate freedom recognizes that safeguarding our planet's resources is essential to protecting our personal liberties and well-being.

Our country’s current emissions rate and the changing climate have profound effects on air, land, and water, threatening the health of ecosystems and communities alike.

If environmental policies are weakened, we jeopardize the air we breathe, the land we depend on, and the water we need to survive.

Climate freedom is a personal right. Just as we value our freedoms to speak, move, or make choices, we also value our right to clean air, water, and land. These are fundamental to our health, our livelihoods, and our future.

Why climate freedom

Climate freedom emphasizes the necessity of protecting the environment not just for its own sake, but for the liberties it affords each of us, from the ability to enjoy natural spaces to ensuring the health and safety of our communities.

Climate freedom recognizes that safeguarding our planet's resources is essential to protecting our individual rights and liberties.

Our principles

  • OUR RIGHT TO PRISTINE LAND

    Pristine land isn't just a backdrop–it's the foundation of our freedom. It's where liberty takes refuge. Our heritage is steeped in the adrenaline of outdoor adventure, only thriving ecosystems can ensure our natural heritage.

  • OUR RIGHT TO FRESH AIR

    Breathing: it's the one freedom we can't live without. We breathe in and out ~20k times a day! Fresh air, free from carbon, plays a crucial role in our health and longevity. Let’s fight to breathe freely!

  • OUR RIGHT TO CLEAN WATER

    Water, the lifeblood of our planet. Without it, freedom loses its purpose. As water scarcity and severe drought grip the American West, our capacity to drink and cultivate crops hangs in the balance. Let’s make sure we keep it clean and flowing for generations to come.
