organizing
We organize alongside communities to build political power and enact social change to fight bad polluters and policies.
We organize by:
- Building capacity in the “Neighborhood Self-Defense Project” to deindustrialize Communities of Color
- Leading grassroots campaigns against toxic polluters (GAFs Gotta Go, Shingle Mountain, and more)
- Training communities to conduct outreach, education and engagement to build political power and win campaigns
Are you an environmental justice community dealing with a legacy or new polluter and you need resources, training or other support to fight back?
Reach out!
