Our environmental justice campaigns are focused on ensuring that disinvested communities have access to a clean and healthy environment with resources within their community. This includes but is not limited to reducing air pollution, eliminating lead out of water, transitioning from industrial to green jobs, and increasing access to healthy resources like fresh food and local health facilities.

Our Campaigns

environmental justice investigative reports

We dig deep into data, research, science and the long story of Environmental INjustice across the Mon Valley. We created the reports to make information more accessible and relatable. We look forward to making more reports.

clean air water and safe housing

Greedy Corporations have poisoned our communities for generations. We demand a healthy, safe place to live. We fight for policy change, ending corruption, green innovations and reparations.

Community focused green investment

We live in a time of great invention and innovation. The old dirty ways of running our economy can not stand. Only short-sighted, lazy capitalists are resisting. We work for a Green FAIR Economy NOW.
