Environmental racism is the practice of locating such toxic operations as landfills, incinerators and chemical power plants near politically powerless communities of color. We have five fast ways you can take action to help fight this problem.


 

 

The environmental justice (EJ) movement is a response to the disproportionate concentration of pollution from both the public and private sectors in communities of color and low-income neighborhoods. Such pollution can take the form of landfills, incinerators, and chemical plants. The Environmental Justice Working Group was formed to help empower these neighborhoods to exercise control over harmful corporate actions.

Mission Statement

ICCR’s mission is to empower communities affected by environmental racism by educating them about shareholder democracy, and supporting corporate dialogues and shareholder campaigns led by community-based organizations.
