The mission of 2People is sustainability in one generation. To achieve this, we must make the connections between many issues, from pollution and poverty to women's rights and democracy. However, we have come to believe that the disruption of our climate threatens to make all other sustainability goals unachievable. Therefore, our immediate goal is to build an overwhelming public mandate for real solutions to the climate crisis. We are a non-profit organization, started by Phil Mitchell.
