Membership Structure 

                                                                     

EJCW’s membership structure is based on a Community-to-Capitol-to-Community theory of change and uses the regional organizing “snowflake” model as a coalition framework. The coalition is comprised of regional hubs of members who organize themselves (with the support of the Coalition Coordinator, as needed) around regional issues, campaigns and strategies. EJCW supports each hub, and their efforts to define and create water just areas, through a variety of methods including:

Capacity-building,

Collaborative fundraising,

Communicating issues,

Democratic water governance,

Education and outreach,

Science-based campaigns,

Technical assistance,

and more!
