Environmental Justice and Sustainable Communities
A project of ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ADVOCATES OF MINNESOTA
EJAM is working hard to make our communities safe. For decades low income and communities of color have borne a disproportionate share of both environmental pollution and economic inequities. We recognize that while the causes of environmental and economic problems are very much linked, so too are the solutions. That’s why EJAM is prepared to tackle both!
As one of EJAM's founders and a Co-Director of EJAM's Board of Directors, I am committed to EJAM's work with communities of color and low income people who are both environmnetally and economically disadvantaged. EJAM works in collaboration with communities to right these injustices by supporting the creation of equitable, healthful and sustainable futures for all generations.
Please help EJAM with two important projects:
1) Beginning in North Minneapolis, EJAM will work with residents to organize and develop the skills needed to create local wealth in ways that improve the health and well being of the larger community and the land. The community will create new leaders, new community businesses and healthy, safe and revitalized neighborhoods.
2) EJAM will work with young people to gain and share knowledge and skills needed to take control over the health of their air, land and water.
With your help, we will continue to fight for environmental justice and build healthy communities!

I support EJAM because it understands that People, profit and place are inseparable. To better one we must better all. EJAM is excited by the opportunity to tackle these problems and believes that a healthy environment should be centered around healthy people.
