The Chisholm Legacy Project
Centering Black frontline leadership in the Just Transition from extractive to regenerative systems.
Mission
The Chisholm Legacy Project (TCLP) connects Black frontline communities with resources to move from vision to implementation. Rooted in a Just Transition framework, it links movements with tools that advance equity, justice, and systems change.
Why It Matters
TCLP supports health, wellness, and self-determination in communities most impacted by extractive systems. By centering Black leadership, it builds regenerative and democratic alternatives—work aligned with The Change Lab’s mission of helping people enrich life and community.
