From Our Partners

Ken Berlin
Former CEO of Climate Reality Project

“[RBI’s sustainability hub at] Free Union Farm approaches climate and environmental justice by shortening food supply chains, centering BIPOC ownership in the emerging clean economy, and producing net benefits for public health. But beyond that, this hub can be replicated widely across the south.”

Jenn Jenkins
Director of Mana Group Consulting

“RBI has a unique way of approaching local economic development with an eye toward advancing environmental justice. The team is thoughtful, highly skilled with a vision of sustained progress, and committed to building a healthy, flourishing community.”

Dr. Beverly Wright
Founder, Executive Director of Deep South Center For Environmental Justice

“The J40 Initiative affords an unprecedented opportunity to fund clean energy and energy efficiency, climate change mediation, remediation and reduction of legacy pollution. We know that William Barber, III and the Rural Beacon Initiative team will be incredible stewards of this opportunity.”

Build something that lasts.

We work with community organizations to clarify their message, strengthen their systems, and move real projects forward.
