The Delaware Green Amendment
The Delaware Green Amendment has earned widespread support over the years, and was the subject of two successful hearings in 2022 and 2023, just falling short of making it through the entire legislative process due to time constraints.
The importance of a Green Amendment for Delaware continues and grows as climate change impacts coastal communities, pressure for coastal development continues, hydrogen energy and data centers emerge as new threats. At this time, we are hoping to connect with Delaware advocates and organizations who are enthusiastic about taking on the leadership mantle for the Delaware Green Amendment movement. If you want to help us get Delaware back on track, please reach out and let us know. We’d love to work with you.
Green Amendments For The Generations – the Environmental Rights Amendment Movement
Green Amendments For The Generations is an organization working across the nation to secure highest constitutional recognition and protection for our human rights to clean air, pure water, a safe climate, and healthy environments, for both present and future generations. We are proud to partner with on-the-ground leaders in Delaware state to provide resources, expertise, and capacity for the Delaware Green Amendment movement.
Our organization has helped to ensure a vibrant Pennsylvania Green Amendment and lead the effort to secure New York’s Green Amendment in 2021. Learn more about the national Green Amendments For The Generations organization.
Green Amendments For The Generations seeks to inspire and support pursuit and passage of self-executing, environmental rights amendments in the Bill of Rights section of every state constitution across the U.S. and ultimately at the federal level.
Once this is accomplished, we will work with communities to ensure strong and meaningful implementation and enforcement of their constitutional Green Amendment rights, just as we are doing in the states that have so far achieved these protections. Learn about our legal and advocacy successes, and our ongoing legal and advocacy efforts.
