The California Environmental Justice Alliance (CEJA) is a statewide, community-led alliance that works to achieve environmental justice by advancing policy solutions. We unite the powerful local organizing of our members in the communities most impacted by environmental hazards – low-income communities and communities of color – to create comprehensive opportunities for change at a statewide level. We build the power of communities across California to create policies that will alleviate poverty and pollution. Together, we are growing the statewide movement for environmental health and social justice.

CEJA envisions a future where all Californians, particularly those most historically impacted by environmental injustice, co-govern local regenerative economies that ensure collective prosperity and harmony with the natural world. We practice self-determination through the democratization of land, labor, and resources in ways that repair and reverse the long course of environmental racism, the climate crisis, and colonialism. We steward clean air, sweet water, and vibrant land where our communities thrive with rewarding work, clean transportation, homes, and renewable energy.
