Our Story
In December 2023, We founded Beanstalk with determination and a clear vision. We are passionate individuals from environmental justice (EJ) and frontline communities.
Through Beanstalk, we address the shortcomings of organizations that failed to prioritize the needs and voices of marginalized communities. We support communities and help build resilience in frontline communities against storms, droughts, wildfires, heatwaves, and land loss. We work collaboratively to address the root causes of environmental injustice, creating authentic spaces for marginalized voices.
