advocacy
We advocate for environmental justice solutions that reduce pollution exposure and the harms of climate change.
We advocate across multilevel scales of governance by:
- Participating in environmental and land use permitting processes
- Drafting and lobbying for policies that advance environmental justice
Do you or your community need support on a permit or policy that impacts your health, environment or quality of life?
Reach out!
