The Environmental Justice, Health, and Community Resilience and Revitalization Program
Our Mission
Rooted in the 17 Principles of Environmental Justice and the Jemez Principles for Democratic Organizing, the Environmental Justice, Health, and Community Resilience and Revitalization Program’s mission is to intentionally prioritize and uplift the voices of marginalized communities on the frontlines by investing the time to build authentic and meaningful relationships. We work for a future where environmental policies and practices are just and equitable, and where marginalized communities are integrated into all decision-making processes. We collaborate with stakeholders across all levels of government and co-develop projects and policies with our community partners to support community-driven solutions to environmental issues and uphold practices that center justice and equity.
Our Vision
We envision a world in which communities that are most impacted by oppressive systems are able to cultivate and benefit from emerging, collaborative, and transformational solutions to promote healthy, sustainable, and just environments.
