Empowering People. Organizing Communities. Achieving Justice.
EHC is a multi-issue organization, with each campaign united by the following beliefs and values:
All people have the right to live, play and work in a safe and healthy environment.
All people have the right and responsibility to act to correct environmental damage and prevent future degradation.
EHC represents the public interest and takes direction from the communities we represent.
Communities of color and poor communities are disproportionately affected by toxic materials used in the workplace and discharged into the air, land and water.
Pollution prevention is the most effective approach to addressing the toxics crisis.
EHC supports the integrity of ecosystems and recognizes human dependence on them.
EHC promotes community and worker right-to-know about toxic chemicals.
It is the government's duty to enact and enforce laws to safeguard the environment, worker and public health.
EHC is dedicated to achieving environmental and social justice. We believe that justice is accomplished by empowered communities acting together to make social change. We organize and advocate to protect public health and the environment threatened by toxic pollution. EHC supports broad efforts that create a just society and that foster a healthy and sustainable quality of life.
