About the America the Beautiful for All Coalition
The America the Beautiful for All Coalition is the largest and most representative
national coalition working to advance the largest national conservation goal in United
States history. Comprising more than 250 organizations, the coalition works collectively
to advance ensure the U.S. continues to advance toward 30x30 - the international goal
to conserve 30 percent of U.S. land, freshwater, and ocean by 2030 while securing more
equitable access to nature's benefits and prioritizing the leadership of frontli
communities and communities of color. The coalition's members represent a wide
range of missions, including urban parks, Indigenous rights and Tribal sovereignty,
public lands protection, public health, wildlife conservation, outdoor recreation, and
freshwater and ocean conservation and more. The coalition is working to apply
Justice40 to 30x30 efforts nationwide, aiming to ensure at least 40 percent of
investments are made for and with communities that have historically seen
underinvestment and been denied their rightful seats at policy making tables. The
coalition's 2024 Policy Agenda outlines public health and justice-oriented conservation
priorities, reflecting the input of nearly 200 organizations. By uniting a wide range
advocates and stakeholders from different communities, cultures, and causes, the
America the Beautiful for All Coalition seeks to catalyze action nationally by federal,
Tribal, State, and local governments to achieve its twin goals of 30x30 and Justice40.
Together, we are making history and leveraging this unprecedented moment to bring
about a new era of the conservation movement focused on justice for frontline
communities and where its leaders truly represent communities from across the nation.
