Equity is at the Heart of Our Mission
We envision a future where every community, regardless of its background or circumstances, has the opportunity to thrive.
About Us
We are a nonprofit organization committed to advancing environmental equity and sustainable development across the United States. Our efforts span a range of environmental domains—including but not limited to air, water, waste management, transportation, the built environment, and food access—to address systemic disparities that persist in various forms.

Through our initiatives, we strive to level the playing field, ensuring that historically marginalized and underserved communities have equitable access to opportunities and support. We are dedicated to identifying and dismantling barriers, creating pathways for individuals and communities to overcome challenges and realize their full potential.
