Welcome to the Environmental Support Center
Our mission:
ESC promotes the quality of the natural environment, human health, community sustainability, and social justice, while building the capacity of environmental justice groups and their allies.
Our vision and values:
All people regardless of race, ethnicity, or income level have the opportunity to determine the sustainability of their communities. Dynamic and effective activist organizations at the grassroots, state, and regional levels authentically represent the interests of the community residents to whom they are accountable; and elected officials and others in position of authority respect and advance those interests. As a result, all communities in the country are free from environmental hazards, enjoy a healthy natural environment, and offer employment through ventures that are environmentally and socially sustainable.
The Environmental Support Center will be the premier capacity-building institution that uses a racial justice framework to provide accessible, responsive assistance to community-based environmental justice and environmental activist groups.
