Environmental Health & Justice for New York's People and Communities

Our Mission:

Environmental Health & Justice for New York’s People and Communities

A clean and safe environment is every person’s birthright. It is not a privilege exclusively for the wealthy and well-connected, but a right for everyone. Safeguarding the natural environment can’t be separated from promoting social justice. All people have a right to a world free of exposure to harmful chemicals in our air, water and food, where children grow up healthy with every opportunity to thrive.

Our Values

The task of transforming the laws that govern how chemicals are regulated and or marketed in the great State of New York will test the cohesion of any movement. Rather than focusing only on the end results of transforming chemical policy or shifting market behavior, we the members of JustGreen promise that through our work we will build a better movement for health and environmental justice in this state.
