Because Every Neighborhood Deserves Clean Water and Air
Ensuring environmental justice for all is a fundamental aspect of our mission. We firmly believe that every individual, regardless of their socioeconomic status or ethnicity, deserves access to clean air, clean water, and the rejuvenating benefits of nature. Unfortunately, the reality is that certain communities bear the brunt of environmental degradation due to the actions of powerful corporations.
It's an undeniable truth that big corporations frequently choose to dispose of their pollution in neighborhoods where residents are often ignored. As a result, low-income communities and communities of color are disproportionately affected by the harmful effects of pollutants such as lead, mercury, particulate emissions, and water contamination.
Tragically, this disparity in exposure leads to significantly higher rates of asthma, cancer, kidney failure, and diabetes among these populations.
At our organization, we are dedicated to rectifying this injustice. We stand as advocates for those whose voices may not always be heard, tirelessly working to hold big polluters accountable for their actions. We demand that these corporations take responsibility for their emissions, clean up the environmental mess they've created, and provide restitution for the damage they've inflicted upon communities.
Through advocacy and activism, we are committed to ensuring that big polluters cannot continue to disregard the health and well-being of vulnerable communities. Everyone deserves a safe and healthy environment in which to live, and we will continue to fight until environmental justice is achieved for all.
