Greenaction for Health and Environmental Justice

We mobilize community power to win victories that change government and corporate policies and practices to protect health and to promote environmental, social, economic and climate justice.

We are a multiracial grassroots organization founded by, led by, and working with low-income and working-class urban, rural, and indigenous communities to fight for environmental justice and build a clean, healthy, and just future for all.
