NCCSC protects North Carolina’s environment by empowering communities through education, advocacy, and grassroots organizing that builds local leadership and drives action. We partner with underserved and environmentally vulnerable BIPOC communities disproportionately impacted by industrial pollution, supporting community-led solutions and advancing environmental justice. By collaborating with public decision-makers and stakeholders, we promote informed, equitable policies and mobilize communities to safeguard the health, environment, and future of all North Carolinians.
OUR VISION
• To stand alongside partner organizations to ensure all North Carolinians can live free from environmental pollution and the harmful practices that worsen and accelerate climate change.
• 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.
