We are working to address the widespread pollution of air, water, and the food supply. We recognize that the burden posed by toxic chemicals falls most heavily on marginalized people, including Black and Brown communities, low income families, and children. We are focused on actions that bring attention to people and places most impacted by pollution.
Despite legal protections that exist to regulate pesticides, the safeguards are woefully inadequate.
Polluters, not everyday people, must be responsible for halting the use of these chemicals, and paying to clean up the pollution and contamination they’ve created. Sierra Club is focused on actions that reduce environmental inequities. We call for long-lasting solutions, including stronger government oversight, pollution prevention, and increased corporate accountability.
