Environmental and Social Justice

Mission:

 Enable all to equitably participate in meeting mutual needs, especially those addressed in the Sierra Club’s three environmental principles:

  • The right of all people to a clean and healthful environment
  • An end to pollution
  • The precautionary principle. Support structural reforms that unify by addressing segregation and the excessive low wage employment that underlies disparate environmental outcomes in low income communities and communities of color

 

Co-Chairs:

George Courser

  1. Clean water and soil, 
  2. Housing all can afford, and 
  3. Equitable access to sustainable transportation.
