Services/Resources: Provides legal, organizing, and technical assistance to grassroots groups in low-income communities and communities of color
The Center on Race, Poverty & the Environment is a national environmental justice organization dedicated to helping grassroots groups across the United States attack head on the disproportionate burden of pollution borne by poor people and people of color. CRPE provides legal, organizing, and technical assistance to grassroots groups in low-income communities and communities of color fighting environmental hazards. CRPE’s ongoing campaigns fall into three broad areas: AIR QUALITY, LAND USE, NATIONAL ISSUES. They have the following goals:

• Individuals taking part in a particular campaign leave the campaign with more personal capacity than they had coming into it.
• Community involved has more power vis a vis decision makers at the end of the campaign than at the beginning.
• Working with affected communities, we concretely address the environmental hazard at hand.

CRPE has fact sheets in both English and Spanish on ten very important issues including: air quality, dairy pollution, pesticide buffer zones, organic farming, CEQA, climate change and more.
