Program accomplishments

• COMMUNITY LAND AND WATER COALITION, INC. - In March 2025, Save the Pine Barrens, Inc. changed its name to Community Land and Water Coalition, Inc. (CLWC), expanding its grassroots network to engage the public in land use planning to protect land and water resources and to inform residents about municipal hearings and permitting processes. CLWC prioritized Environmental Justice by supporting underserved communities in Southeastern Massachusettsincluding Carver, Wareham, Halifax, and Plymouthimpacted by sand mining, and strengthened Indigenous partnerships through Board member Linda Coombs of the Aquinnah Wampanoag Tribe, collaborating with Herring Pond Wampanoag Tribe, Inc. on outreach, public comments, and advocacy to protect Indigenous historic sites. The organization provided advocacy, research, and organizing support regarding the Plymouth Municipal Airport expansion, helping residents establish a Citizens Advisory Committee to increase transparency and accountability. CLWC expanded media and digital engagement by launching a new website (CommunityLandandWater.org), growing its newsletter list by 75% to 3,515 subscribers, producing podcasts, and circulating petitions through Action Network. Advocacy efforts included challenging mining and wetlands permits, providing expert testimony and legal support to ten resident groups in administrative hearings, continuing an appeal in a citizen suit addressing environmental damage, issuing enforcement demand letters, and using zoning laws to oppose a sand mine in Plymouth. CLWC also produced fact sheets on sand mining and conducted public education and municipal engagement, while expending no funds to influence legislation under IRC Section 501(c)(3) and operating without collecting funds or donations beyond support provided by GJEP.

• STANDING TREES - At the federal level, Standing Trees worked to ensure that US Forest Service logging projects in the Green and White Mountain National Forests adhered to federal laws by submitting technical comments, recruiting news stories, educating the public and elected officials, and filing litigation. Standing Trees also worked with partners across the US to shape the implementation of Executive Order 14072, which directed the US Forest Service to inventory mature and old-growth forests on federal lands and develop policies to conserve those forests. At the state and local levels, Standing Trees submitted technical comments, recruited news stories, and educated the public and elected officials about the dangers of biomass electricity, as well as opportunities for improving long range management planning for state lands. Standing Trees also helped to implement Act 59, a new Vermont law that sets ambitious goals for land conservation in the state, and worked on a new law that would establish a statutory designation for state-managed "wildlands," off limits to timber harvest and road building.

• HOODWINKED IN THE HOTHOUSE continued to expand its reach and influence with our education and movement building activities opposing false solutions to climate change. This included distributing our flagship publication Hoodwinked in the Hothouse through direct shipments, expanding our web and social media presence, and providing support and connections to groups fighting false solutions. The vast majority of our $205,585 total revenue came from grants, while a small amount came from donations from our supporters. The large amount of funding we received through grants allowed us to increase our staff capacity, with about two thirds of our $187,293 in total expenditures going towards payments for independent contractors. Other expenses included professional fees for contractors, administrative costs, and travel.

• CAMPAIGN TO STOP GE TREES - The Campaign to STOP GE Trees made significant advances to prevent the large-scale and/or commercial release of genetically engineered (GE) trees into the environment. We used documented problems with a GE chestnut tree known as D54/58 to show what can go wrong with genetically engineering trees, and it will be a key part of our ongoing work to stop future iterations of GE trees. GJEP has been working with the American Chestnut Cooperators Foundation, to support their work to breed and distribute 100% wild American chestnuts. Members of the Campaign to STOP GE Trees have become active volunteers with ACCF and are helping plant their blight tolerant wild American chestnuts across the eastern forests. This summer these volunteers planted 200 wild American chestnut trees at the New England Botanical Garden in Massachusetts. In April of 2024 Global Justice Ecology Project, the Campaign to STOP GE Trees, and the National Commission of Indigenous Territories (CNTI) of Colombia launched an Indigenous Peoples worldwide campaign to stop GE trees during the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII) in New York City.

• GLOBAL JUSTICE MEDIA PROGRAM - GJEP created 7 Breaking Green Podcasts that reached thousands of people with information about local, national and international human rights and environmental issues. We released a new photo book Portraits of Struggle by GJEP co-founder Orin Langelle that documents 50 years of global movements for justice. Our new short documentary spotlights the struggles of Indigenous Peoples and traditional communities in Brazil against the harmful effects of monoculture tree plantations and the pulp industry.

• BIOFUELWATCH undertakes advocacy and campaigning in relation to the climate, environmental, human rights and public health impacts of large-scale industrial bioenergy. Activities responded to a mission driven vision to promote environmental decision-making in relation to bioenergy and other bio-based products. We were active at a local, regional, statewide, national and international level on issues as distinct as supply chains, the integrity of sustainability certification frameworks, the science of the land use impacts of forest-based biomass energy, and the air quality impact questions associated with the production of liquid biofuel products. During the fiscal year we also dedicated time and staff resources to organizational development and planning activities.

• HONDURAS NOW was involved in various education projects including two North American delegations to Honduras and a report launch regarding the environmental impacts of investment-state dispute mechanisms (ISDS) on Honduran communities. Honduras Now participated in documenting human rights concerns with tourist projects in Afro-Indigenous Garifuna communities on the Caribbean coast, Honduras.

• NH PANTHER (Plymouth Area To Help End Racism) continued our operations as a small, volunteer-run, grassroots community organization. We accomplish our mission to help end racism and systemic biases through community engagement, direct mutual aid, education and curriculum reform, youth empowerment programming, and the arts. We received $20,000 through the NH Charitable Foundation, which paid for our annual Black Excellence Fund Grant cycle totalling $15,000. We received a $4000 grant through the NE Grassroots Environmental Fund to support our community programming efforts. These funds, as well as the remaining funds from NHCF, paid for the sponsorship of community events, student-led haircare events, free screenprinted art at community events. Additional costs included outreach, operations, and professional development, and additional income in the form of personal donations totalled $280 during this time. Any funds not spent during this period of time roll over to the next fiscal year to continue to underwrite NH PANTHER operations and programming.

• ITINERANT UNIVERSITY OF RESISTANCE IN HAITI (UNIR-Haiti) reaffirmed its conviction that it is possible to build collective alternatives under adverse social, territorial and security conditions in Haiti, especially when women and communities occupy a central place in the processes of organizing, training, and defending their territory. UNIR in Haiti focused on three strategic areas: defending the territory through community-based assessments, political and pedagogical training, and local, regional, and international collaboration. UNIR in Haiti expanded its online course platforms, reaching over 200 enrollments during 2025, primarily from women and young people. These capacity building spaces facilitated access to educational and linguistic tools. UNIR in Haiti supported 7 scholarship recipients who participated in training and organizational strengthening processes. At the local level, UNIR in Haiti consolidated a strategic alliance with a school in the Jacmel region, which allowed for the expansion of community work and provided a stable space for educational and organizational activities. Across all sectors, FANM YO LA, created by women for women, was consolidated, reaffirming the role of Haitian women as fundamental political subjects in the defense of territories. We held Spanish courses in 4 communities in the North of the country: Cadush, Terrier Rouge, Ouanaminthe and Carice, and launched the A1 Spanish course in online format. UNIR-Haiti has established a collaboration agreement with the Abricot National School, located in Kap-Wouj, a community committed to transformative education. This is a historic moment for UNIR, as it represents the beginning of a new chapter in our work for quality Popular Education with a Latin American focus. This year, the Fanm Yo La subprogram is expanding and strengthening through activities that guarantee the active participation of Haitian women, through meetings, following up with scholarship recipients, and reviewing 26 applications for the Fanm Yo La grant. The evaluation committee selected Rooseverlande Amajuste, Rachelle Mompremier, and Johanne Boutin.

Henry Harris assumed a temporary paid position to oversee demolition, cleanup, and partial rebuild of infrastructure, and began two new programs: preparing for a roadshow and undertaking a statewide collaboration to start public programming in 2026 as we finish off our recovery process at our community land project. We replaced tools and equipment, managed an ongoing community outreach campaign, and convened a number of bilateral and network meetings with our staff time
