Our Next Activist Leaders
Who Are the PEG Pioneers?
A team of people who are passionate about social and environmental justice and are committed to doing something about it, while helping others do the same. Together we create an active and accountable community for change, and to nurture the next generation of leaders, innovators and activists in social and climate justice.
The PEG Center will provide organization, resources, ideas, people, fundraising. Our goal is to spread the ideas—and therefore the impact—of essential justice projects TOGETHER, so that as a community, we can both instigate change, and reflect on the results of those changes, TOGETHER.
Twice each month we will have brief zoom check-ins to keep us all on the paths to right action!
