Mason County Climate Justice

Brief

Mason County Climate Justice (MCCJ) is a multiracial, multigenerational, community nonprofit located in Mason County, WA, and the sovereign Skokomish and Squaxin Island Nations. They are by, of, and for their local communities. Co-founded in 2018 as an all-volunteer grassroots collective, MCCJ grew into a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2023. They collaborate to build community food forests, teach workshops, provide a rural perspective on policy, defend legacy forests so that they become old growth, develop a Just Transition, and organize community to take charge of a shared future.

Land Clinic contributes to this work through general legal strategy and counsel to support stewardship efforts and relationship memorialization.
