About Center for Earth, Energy & Democracy (CEED)

The Center for Earth, Energy & Democracy (CEED) is a Minneapolis-based environmental justice organization that partners with frontline communities—particularly Black, Indigenous, people of color, and low-income neighborhoods—to shape climate, energy, and environmental policy. CEED combines community-centered research, popular education, and policy advocacy so impacted communities can lead decision-making that affects their health and livelihoods. In recent years CEED has expanded regional programming and resources, published annual impact reporting and a new strategic framework, and launched the Midwest Climate & Health Equity Hub to support Midwest organizations working at the intersection of climate, energy affordability, and public health.
