We are the nation’s largest coalition of communities on the frontline of climate change and environmental abuse. The more than 1,000,000 people we represent face a myriad of challenges, including destroyed or damaged property, homelessness, rising debt, unaffordable insurance, physical illness and emotional stress. Supported by outstanding partner organizations that contribute expertise -- hydrologists, health advocates, engineers, planners, and lawyers – our grassroots leaders have successfully halted developments in flood prone areas; planned and instituted green infrastructure; organized home buyouts; and promoted clean-ups at superfund sites, toxic landfills, and petrochemical plants in areas that flood.
