Our Mission

The Environmental Justice Coalition is the first grassroots, youth-led movement mobilizing the next generation of activists in the fight for intersectional environmental justice and uplifting BIPOC and marginalized communities through political advocacy, policy development, community organizing, educational initiatives, and content creation. We are creating a pipeline for future environmental justice activists, climate scientists, sustainable policymakers, and empathetic leaders.

Our Vision

We envision a future in which there is fair and equal treatment, equitable distribution of resources, and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexuality, or income level in the development, implementation, and enforcement of sustainable environmental laws, regulations, and policies on the local, state, and federal level.

Note From the Founder

EJC began with my passion for environmental justice. However, I had noticed a lack of youth invovlement in the movement along with education and awareness of more intersectional issues outside of climate change. I asked some of my friends and eventual emeritus co-founder Natasha Matta to help me launch EJC with the goal of mobilizing youth in the fight for environmental justice. EJC would not be where it is today without our dedicated leadership team and mentors who always believe in the work that we do.

2022 was an extremely eventful year for EJC! We were able to work with many amazing partners, start our very own podcast, present our work to esteemed public health professionals at the renowned APHA annual conference and the Bloomberg American Health Summit, connect with youth activists across the nation, and inspire people with our work. In 2023, we hope to hold more in-person events, connect with more communities, educate more youth about environmental justice, and continue to fight for intersectional environmental justice!


Sincerely,
Rhea Goswami
