WE ARE CREATING A CLIMATE FOR CHANGE

At New Alpha, The Whitney M. Slater Foundation, and Kingdom Living Temple, we work alongside coalitions and other climate justice organizations, working together to create solutions to the world’s most pressing problems.

Our mission is to create a lasting impact through our initiatives, campaigns, and strategic partnerships. To accomplish our mission, we rely on support from brave groups and individuals just like you, who know that marginalized communities will suffer until we drive exponential change. With your help, we can break socioeconomic barriers and address water, air, land, and healthcare issues that still affect vulnerable communities today.

WHAT WE'RE DOING

South Carolina Wetlands

Community Solar Implementation

New Alpha CDC seeks to create small-scale solar projects that reduce energy burdens while also creating real opportunities for local businesses and job seekers.

Southern Community for A Green New Deal

New Alpha CDC shines a light on climate challenges that people in rural communities face, particularly in the Southeast United States. By making lawmakers aware of these issues, we can help enact climate change policies that will change lives and benefit rural families.

Solar Water Garden
