What Moms Clean Air Force does

Moms Clean Air Force is a U.S.-based nonprofit advocacy organization founded in 2011 that mobilizes a community of over 1.6 million parents to fight air pollution and climate change in order to protect children's health. The organization operates through a digital advocacy platform built around online petitions directed at Congress, the EPA, and other government officials, supplemented by an events calendar, email newsletters, and social media presence across Facebook, X, Instagram, and Bluesky. Its operational architecture consists of 24 state chapters staffed by field organizers who conduct local grassroots organizing, public testimony at EPA hearings, and direct meetings with elected officials. Sub-brands extend the platform's reach into specific demographic and policy niches: EcoMadres serves Latino communities with bilingual Spanish-language resources and reports 1,579,385 members; Community Health Justice addresses environmental justice in Black communities; the Moms & Mayors program connects caregivers with local government officials; and an Indigenous Communities program targets advocacy around pipelines, mines, and waste incinerators on tribal lands.

The organization generates no commercial revenue. Its sole revenue stream is individual donations from supporters, processed through donation pages hosted at edf.org/donate as part of a structural partnership with the Environmental Defense Fund, which provides organizational infrastructure and back-office support. There are no products sold, no pricing tiers, and no enterprise contracts. Recent strategic milestones include co-founder Dominique Browning's selection to the TIME100 Climate List in 2025, two Telly Awards for video storytelling in 2026, and the documented shutdown of a plastics burning facility in Ohio following 18 months of member-led advocacy. The organization maintains an active petition pipeline covering EPA accountability, data center pollution, toxic chemicals, clean school buses, and petrochemical regulation.

Broad incumbents

• Earthjustice: Nonprofit public-interest environmental law organization that litigates cases on clean air, climate, and toxic chemicals. Comparable as a mission-aligned environmental advocacy organization working on overlapping air-pollution and fossil-fuel issues, though operating primarily through litigation rather than grassroots mobilization.
• Union of Concerned Scientists: Science-based advocacy nonprofit working on climate, clean energy, and clean air. Comparable as a policy-and-advocacy peer with overlapping clean air and climate portfolios, particularly around EPA regulatory defense.
• Sierra Club: One of the oldest and largest U.S. grassroots environmental organizations with millions of members and active state chapters. Directly comparable as a mass-membership advocacy organization mobilizing supporters around clean air, climate, and opposition to fossil fuel infrastructure.
• Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC): Major U.S. environmental advocacy organization with deep involvement in Clean Air Act defense and climate policy. Directly comparable in mission scope (clean air, climate, children's health, environmental justice) and policy-advocacy model, though operated primarily by staff attorneys and scientists rather than grassroots volunteers.
• Environmental Defense Fund: The parent/supporting organization for Moms Clean Air Force and one of the largest U.S. environmental advocacy groups. Directly comparable because it processes Moms Clean Air Force donations, shares scientific and policy resources, and works on overlapping air quality and climate policy issues at federal and state levels.

Direct peers

• Clean Air Task Force: U.S. nonprofit focused specifically on clean air and climate pollution reduction through science, policy, and advocacy. Direct peer given its narrow focus on air pollution, methane, and particulate matter — the same core issues Moms Clean Air Force mobilizes parents around.
• 350.org: Grassroots climate advocacy organization mobilizing volunteers around fossil fuel opposition and clean energy. Comparable as a digital-first, community-led advocacy organization using petitions, events, and state/local chapters to drive climate action.
• League of Conservation Voters: U.S. environmental advocacy organization that mobilizes voters and lobbies lawmakers on climate and clean energy policy. Comparable in its electoral and legislative advocacy approach, member mobilization, and policy focus on air pollution and climate, though with greater emphasis on political candidate scorecards.

Emerging players

• WE ACT for Environmental Justice: Northern Manhattan-based environmental justice organization focused on air quality, climate, and health in communities of color. Comparable to the Community Health Justice program in its focus on Black and minority-community environmental health advocacy and federal policy engagement.
• GreenLatinos: Latino-led environmental advocacy organization working on climate, clean air, and environmental justice for Latino communities. Directly comparable to the EcoMadres program in mission, target demographic, and bilingual community-engagement model.
