MOVEMENT BUILDING CRPE is unique in how we carry out our mission of achieving environmental justice and healthy sustainable communities because of our model to develop of community leaders and grassroots organizations along at a local level, along with building power at the state and national level. Locally, we our programs build the individual capacity of community residents, foster community power vis--vis decision-makers and address the environmental issues facing the community. We combine community education, community organizing, legal representation and policy advocacy to assist communities facing environmental harms such as climate change, oil extraction, industrialized agriculture, air quality issues and toxic waste siting. Much of our advocacy is focused in Californias San Joaquin Valley where the poorest residentsprimarily Latino farmworkers and recent immigrantsare most at risk. Our work is rooted in the San Joaquin Valley because it is one of the poorest and most environmentally unhealthy regions of the country, and also because what happens here affects the nation.Environmental justice advocacy is traditionally undertaken on a local scale with advocates working alongside residents to defeat an environmental threat, while not directly addressing the systemic causes of environmental injustices. CRPE is flipping this model to scale-up grassroots organizing and advocacy to challenge the power systems that lead to inequalities in the first place.
CLIMATE JUSTICE Climate change is an issue that needs our immediate attention. Its impacts are already being felt across the globe and in California, yet they do not affect everyone equally. CRPE approaches the issues of climate change and energy through the lens of climate justice. We address these issues by focusing on the racial, social and economic inequities of climate change and by prioritizing local solutions to this global problem.CRPE uses its unique blend of community organizing, litigation and policy advocacy to address the dual threats that low-income communities and communities of color face: disproportionately suffering from the effects of climate change, and the effects of policy decisions to address global warming.
