The Center on Race, Poverty & the Environment works alongside the most impacted communities to protect our air, land, water, health, and economic security through collective action, community lawyering, and policy advocacy.  

VISION 

We envision a world where everyone — no matter their race or income — can live a healthy, sustainable life supported by their community and equal protection from environmental harm.  CRPE listens to the community, values the dignity of every human, honors the future as sacred, and respects ancestors as our grounding knowledge.

VALUES

Justice - Rooted in honesty, justice is driven by empathy. With commitment to the wellbeing of people and the planet, CRPE’s pursuit of justice means all communities thrive with freedom, dignity, economic self-determination, and access to clean air and water.

Strong Belief in People - True power lies with the people and the communities that define themselves. Our movement demands love, acceptance, inclusive decision making, and authentic relationships—even with those who oppress or oppose us.

From the Ground Up - By prioritizing the solutions of those most impacted by poverty and environmental racism, we support communities to build autonomy. CRPE listens with humility and follows the leadership of the community. We provide essential resources.

Integrity - CRPE follows through and honors our commitments. We build trust, forge meaningful connections, and remain steadfast to our principles. We strive to do the right thing even if no one is watching.es to support community vision and self-determination.
