New Jersey Environmental Justice Alliance
Missão
The New Jersey Environmental Justice Alliance (NJEJA) is an alliance of New Jersey-based organizations and individuals committed to working together to create healthy, sustainable, and just communities by eliminating environmental injustices in low-income and communities of color. Together, we support and work with communities through local, state, and national policy development, targeted campaigns and organizing, education, advocacy, training and workforce development, and technical assistance focused on critical environmental justice issues.
NJEJA is not only geographically diverse but is also the only statewide environmental organization in New Jersey that has a majority of people of color in its membership and leadership. This diversity is one of NJEJA’s most important assets and allows us to bring a unique perspective to issues that is otherwise often absent in mainstream environmental policy discussions within New Jersey and the nation.
