Green groups show up to planning meetings, zoning boards, and permit hearings. But showing up for a community and being from that community are entirely different things, and the people most affected are usually the last ones in the room.

Dr. Sacoby Wilson, CEO & Founder of Center for Engagement, Environmental Justice, & Health calls it "justice washing," and it's been happening for decades.

Environmental organizations speaking on behalf of Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities without those communities present.

Permits get approved, industrial sites get sited, and the people living next to them find out after the decision was already made.

Swipe through to see how environmental decisions actually get made, and what community power looks like when it's backed by science.

Join us August 14 for the first-ever Global EJ Summit, a free virtual gathering before September’s symposium.

Registration opens June 19.

Fred Tutman of Patuxent Riverkeeper came to the 2025 CEEJH Symposium and said what needed to be said: when a community owns its own fate, they pass that ownership to the next generation.

That's the work that outlasts all of us.

Environmental and climate justice is durable when it's community-rooted. Full stop.

World Environment Day is a reminder that the environment doesn’t look the same for everyone.

Black and Brown communities across the country are more likely to live near industrial facilities, highways, and pollution sources. This is the result of decades of zoning decisions, redlining, and policies that consistently placed environmental burdens in the same neighborhoods.

CEEJH has spent 25 years documenting these patterns alongside the communities living them, turning data into tools for action.

Swipe through to see the systems behind environmental racism and the work being done to dismantle them.

Before CEEJH had sensors and mapping tools, communities were already doing this work with what they had.

Showing up to hearings. Knocking on doors. Keeping records of every nosebleed, every asthma attack, every complaint that went unanswered.

We just gave that fight better tools.

Follow us to see how communities are using them.

At the 2025 CEEJH Symposium, Nicole Jackson, CEEJH Director of Education & Events, speaks about how the EJ movement has been carried on the backs of the same people for a long time.

That kind of sustained labor takes something out of you, and pretending otherwise doesn’t serve anyone.

Rest is part of how this work stays alive. When we gather, we’re not stepping away from the fight. We’re training the people behind us, building the relationships that outlast any one leader, making sure the movement doesn’t depend on burning through its best people.

The next generation is coming up. We’re making sure they have everything they need to go further than we did.

The work continues.

The vision is simple. Your church grows food. Your mosque grows food. Your community center, your elementary school, your local college - all growing food.

You don’t need a grocery store if your whole community is feeding itself.

That’s the food utopia our people deserve. That’s the ecotopia we’re fighting for - in every neighborhood dealing with hunger, dealing with food swamps, dealing with a system that was never designed to feed us right.

We can build it. The question is whether we’re gonna demand it.

Environmental justice means no community should have to breathe dirtier air, drink unsafe water, or carry heavier health burdens because of their race, income, or zip code.

It means the people most impacted by pollution are not pushed out of the conversation. They deserve a seat at the table when decisions are being made about their neighborhoods, their health, and their future.

Because communities should not just survive environmental decisions.

They should have the power to shape them. ✊🏾

You want to know how a fenceline community beats a polluter in a hearing room?

They show up with their own data.

Real-time air quality readings from sensors on their own porches.

Numbers collected by residents who learned to deploy monitors, download reports, and interpret what they were seeing in their own neighborhoods.

That is what CEEJH builds.

The scientific infrastructure that turns community knowledge into courtroom-ready evidence.

Permits have been denied because of this work.
State inspections have been triggered.
Agencies that spent years looking the other way have been forced to act.

The community already knew the air was bad. We just helped them prove it.
