Equitable development and access to clean energy, is not an environmental issue its a systemic one.
Life as we know it is slowly seeping away- sustainable energy is unaffordable, for low-income and people of color. If we could create equitable clean energy, we could change the game, and finally achieve the what humanity has deemed to be "impossible". With gender equality 300 years away and racial equality much longer we have to act now and realize that equity in justice is far from achieved. Sustainable equity isn't an environmental issue its a racial one, and one that unless solved both humanity and the planet will be lost.
But with legislative and executive powers working against it all- by passing oil drilling, and "environmental harm projects" like the Willow Project- and only now passing civil laws, spending billions of dollars to uplift those same companies that are destrying the economic well-being of people of color; the government attemting to cover it up with bills like the "Affordable Clean Energy Rule"- when it does nothing to aid the world, or aid the affordability of green energy.
Well now, we create change.
What We Do.
The Political Environment is an advocacy and legislative campaign thats goal is to decrease gentrification, increase the prevalence of affordable clean energy and recognize that environmental injustice stems from racial beings. Through activism and policymaking we can make the change. We are making every able-bodied move neccessary to change the world, at our capacity, and have now become the worlds largest campaign in our field; And we have a goal, that we will accomplish.

Policy is one of the biggest affecting factors of the environment around us. They pass laws that allow noew advancment in fossil fuel development intead of realizing that our EARTH is at STAKE; so why now? Because youth like me and you are not the leaders of The future, we have the power to shape the present. We need to stand up and keep fighting again policymakers that are condeming our planet, and humanity simeltaniously. The same people that preech eqality and global warming are the ones in private jets spending a median household income on fuel, the same ones that dont pass laws for sustainable devlopment are the same ones that are denying POCs jobs and one-upping the price of a house. With many believing that equality was achieved when segregation was ended or when Native Americans were deemed citizens, yet they are still denied jobs, healthcare, and credit. The Political field must change.. This is the next step to rebuilding our Environment. So, lets start with the civics.
We are in the process of drafting a house bill to be introduced in the Texas legislature. This bill would require subsidized housing in the state of Texas to require 40% clean energy, require developers to take racially equal community input on developments to prevent gentrification and require youth input on environmental decisions in every city in Texas. Let's start here and take it to the White House.
We changemake.
2024 Legislative Campaign
"because they can't" is a legislative project to make change from local governments to the White House, this legislation will focus on the main subjects of of environmental inequality and the affordability of green energy to the everyday person and low-income communities.
People in the United States of America, have been or are at risk for being pushed out of their neighborhoods (gentrified). Those same people can't afford green energy because it's a luxury. We will change that, 'because they can't.'
- Decreasing gentrification.
- Increasing community input in new development projects.
- Increasing POC community input on new development projects.
- Founding youth legislative boards.
- Requiring a 15% of the lot to be allocated toward green spaces.
- Mandating environmental check prior to and after development.
- Implementing fines for decreased environmental quality.
Our Work
As said previously one of the biggest issues within politics is its effect on the environment and eveyone and thing around you. A bill passed could lead to one thing which could lead to another, and next thing you know the world is on fire. The Political Environments' Polity Fund is one that aims for sustainable development whether it be installing solar panels, planting a tree, or installing more useful water taps anything and everything helps. Now we are developing sustinable energy grids to make this worlds sustainable energy more accessible, for POCs, low-income and so many more that don't have access!
