Our mission is to fight against fossil fuel executives and industries that have turned our communities into dumping grounds for toxic waste, poisoning our air, water, lan, and bodies. We organize to oppose giant oil refineries, dirty gas-fired power plants, and drill sites next to our homes and schools. We organize against oil and gas lobbyists who have bought off politicians and rewrote our states climate policies to pad their profits, in order to bring environmental justice to our communities.
