Who We Are
We are elder women and allies stepping up to the urgency of the climate crisis. We act in support of the rights of Native Americans and other frontline communities. We believe that  we cannot address the climate crisis without addressing systemic racism. That is what climate justice means to us. 1000 Grandmothers allows us to augment our individual voices and impact by providing opportunities to act collectively. We find ways to use the particular influence of our being generational grandmothers to strengthen the Climate Justice Movement. Our Principles include collective nonviolent action, community building and  kindness.

WHAT DO WE DO?
We Show Up
  • We show up at international, national, and local climate justice actions and demonstrations;
  • We show up for legislative and electoral campaigns that confront the power of the fossil fuel industry. 
  • We show up to support indigenous and front line struggles, to protests called for by youth leaders; to hearings and boycotts and campaigns to stop the fossil fuel industry from destroying our only planet. 
As Grandmothers have a lot to say about a lot of things – but we want to do more than bring our wisdom.  We know that those who will lead us into the future, need us to have their backs.  They are counting on us to show up.  

Ongoing circles & work groups: 
  • Art  - Create art that brings attention to our messages of environmental healing in our actions.
  • Legislative WG - Lobby for legislation to help mitigate &/or adapt to the Climate Crisis and opposing detrimental bills.
  • Non Violent Direct Action - Support Grandmothers participation in  actions for climate justice.   Check out photos of some of our Line actions , and for more info on Line 3

Our Definition of Grandmother
Some of us have biological grandchildren and some of us do not.  In the spirit of the indigenous tradition of calling all elder women, 'grandmothers', we call ourselves grandmothers.  We are all here because we care about future generations.

Our History:
​1000 Grandmothers for Future Generations began in response to the historic resistance of indigenous water protectors and allies to the DAPL oil pipeline at Standing Rock ND in 2016.  Feeling an urgency to bring our collective wisdom and experience to help build the power of the Climate Justice Movement, a half dozen elder women from Oakland and Berkeley, CA started meeting In October 2016. Read more... ​
