Environmental Health Coalition is dedicated to
environmental and social justice. We believe that
justice is achieved when empowered communities act
together to make social change. We organize and
advocate to protect public health and the
environment threatened by toxic pollution. EHC
supports efforts that create a just society which
foster a healthy and sustainable quality of life.
The
Border Environmental Justice Campaign
works in solidarity with social justice groups in
the border region to promote worker and community
right-to-know about the chemicals used by
maquiladoras, to increase their capacity to
influence conditions that directly affect their
health, and to demand cleanup of abandoned and
contaminated sites.
The Clean Bay Campaign unites workers,
bayside communities, and conservationists to clean
up, restore and protect San Diego Bay as a clean
and healthy multi-use water resource capable of
supporting a diverse range of activities.
The Community Assistance Program
responds to the needs of residents by providing
scientific, technical, and policy information and
assistance, and empowering residents with
appropriate and effective strategies.
The Toxic Free Neighborhoods Campaign
works with affected residents to promote land use
and planning reforms, the relocation of hazardous
industries to industrial zones, the reduction of
toxic air contaminants released by industry, and
the abatement of lead hazards in the home.
