Description
Citizens' Environmental Coalition, New York’s leading environmental health organization was founded in 1983 by people living with the legacy of toxic pollution. Today, CEC has grown into 110 community, labor, faith-based, youth, health and environmental groups and over 14,000 individual members who are united in the understanding that we must rid ourselves and our communities of toxic-waste and holdfast in the notion that no child should be born with toxic-chemicals already in their body.
CEC’s mission is to: Create safe, healthy communities, schools and workplaces through pollution prevention; Empower, educate, and assist people concerned about environmental problems; Strengthen the connection from the grassroots to the statehouse and build effective coalitions; Promote democratic, grassroots advocacy to restore New York’s environment; and Promote corporate accountability and non-violent social justice values.
