The Center for Health, Environment & Justice exists to mentor the movement to
build healthier communities by empowering people to prevent harm in as many
ways, and for as many people, as possible. We believe this can happen when
people and groups have the power to play an integral role in promoting human
health and environmental integrity. CHEJ’s role is to provide the tools, the
direction, and the encouragement to these people and groups, so that they can
build strong, healthy communities where they live, work, learn, shop, play and
pray. Following her successful effort to prevent further harm for the people
living in contaminated Love Canal, Lois Gibbs founded CHEJ in 1981 in order to
continue mentoring others seeking to prevent harm. CHEJ provides mentoring
assistance to communities, homeowners, families and individuals throughout the
country. To date, CHEJ has assisted over 10,000 groups nationwide. Currently,
CHEJ is mentoring community groups in Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, New York,
North Carolina and Ohio.
