Mission Statement

Our mission is to vigorously protect North Carolina’s environment by empowering underserved communities through education, advocacy, and grassroots organizing. We partner with predominantly BIPOC communities disproportionately impacted by industrial pollution, strengthening local leadership, supporting community-led solutions, and advancing environmental justice. We passionately work alongside partner organizations to ensure all North Carolinians can live free from environmental pollution and the harmful practices that worsen and accelerate climate change.

OUR VISION

• To help elect public officials who understand the real impacts of environmental harm on our communities—especially Black, Brown, Indigenous, and low-wealth populations—and who use their voices to champion laws, policies, and protections that keep North Carolinians safe.

• To serve as a trusted educational resource that equips everyday people with the knowledge, language, and confidence to engage in informed conversations and drive meaningful, community-centered solutions to our environmental challenges.
