A CLEAN, HEALTHY, JUST, and EQUITABLE Environment
for All Virginians!
The mission of the VEJC is to build the health and wealth of communities of color, low-income communities, and communities overburdened by pollution in Virginia by reducing the disproportionate impact of environmental hazards through educating, empowering, and mobilizing grassroots organizations and individuals to speak for themselves and through building an alliance to advocate for equitable policies and practices.
We respect and uphold the absolute need for clean air, water and soil in consideration of generations to come. The future is not ours to erase.
