    Forgotten VoicesEnvironmental injustices are complex issues that not only sit at the intersection of class and race, but also need to be examined and approached at every level of government: federal, state, county and city. In addition to the environmental and health impacts of polluting industries, environmental justice communities in California also deal with a lack of infrastructure and access to resources. Historically, City and County governments have used local land use policies to racially segregate communities through redlining which restricted where people of color could own property. Often these areas were within or next to areas zoned for industrial use, designated for highway construction, or for waste disposal. As part of long-range plans, Cities and Counties [continued on Schedule O]

    Climate JusticeClimate change is an issue that needs our immediate attention. Its impacts are already being felt across the globe and in California, yet they do not affect everyone equally. CRPE approaches the issues of climate change and energy through the lens of climate justice. We address these issues by focusing on the racial, social and economic inequities of climate change and by prioritizing local solutions to this global problem.CRPE uses its unique blend of community organizing, litigation and policy advocacy to address the dual threats that low-income communities and communities of color face: disproportionately suffering from the effects of climate change, and the effects of policy decisions to address global warming.

    Toxic Free CommunitiesResidents across California are fighting battles against toxic waste and its public health impacts where they live, work and attend school. Toxic chemicals and waste harm health and can lead to cancers, reproductive and developmental harms. All California communities should equally share the burden of toxic waste disposal for the state. Yet, the reality is host communities are more often than not low income communities and communities of color. They suffer from the accompanying environmental and health risks. These communities are fighting to reduce these toxic exposures in their own backyard, and create a more just system [for the entire state]. While there has been some success in individual campaigns, there is a long road ahead to the equitable management and [continued on Schedule O]
