Environmental Health Coalition (EHC)

Environmental Health Coalition (EHC) builds grassroots campaigns to confront the unjust consequences of toxic pollution, discriminatory land use, and unsustainable energy policies. Through leader development, organizing and advocacy, we improve the health of children, families, neighborhoods and the natural environment in the San Diego/Tijuana region. EHC is dedicated to achieving environmental and social justice. We believe that justice is accomplished by empowered communities acting together to make social change. We organize and advocate to protect public health and the environment threatened by toxic pollution. EHC supports broad efforts that create a just society which foster a healthy and sustainable quality of life.

EHC is a multi-issue organization, with each campaign united by the following beliefs and values:
• All people have the right to live, play and work in a safe and healthy environment.
• All people have the right and responsibility to act to correct environmental damage and prevent future degradation.
• EHC represents the public interest and takes direction from the communities we represent.
• Communities of color and poor communities are disproportionately affected by toxic materials used in the workplace and discharged into the air, land and water.
• Pollution prevention is the most effective approach to addressing the toxics crisis.
• EHC supports the integrity of ecosystems and recognizes human dependence on them.
• EHC promotes community and worker right-to-know about toxic chemicals.
• It is the government's duty to enact and enforce laws to safeguard the environment, worker and public health.
