After years of local organizing, Just Transition Northwest Indiana (JTNWI) was established in April 2020. JTNWI was launched initially to ensure the clean closure of the NIPSCO Michigan City plant and to remove the coal ash waste degrading air quality and threatening Lake Michigan, our collective drinking water supply.
JTNWI is a grassroots environmental justice organization serving the Northwest Indiana region. Together, we are:
- Working to build solidarity between communities and workers to create long-term, community-centered, and worker-centered solutions
- Addressing the urgent issue of coal ash pollution and other legacy waste impacts along Lake Michigan and the Great Lakes
- Taking legislative action on environmental issues at the local, state, and federal fronts
