About
North Carolina Environmental Justice Network (NCEJN) is a grassroots, people of color-led coalition of community organizations and their supporters who work with low income communities and people of color on issues of climate, environmental, racial, and social injustice.
NCEJN does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability in our program or activities.
NCEJN was born from the First Annual Community North Carolina Environmental Justice Summit in 1998. The working-class communities of color who founded the first Summit had fought for racial, social, economic, political, and environmental justice for decades. Confronting environmental racism, political disenfranchisement, and economic injustice, these communities held the first Summit to build solidarity and share resources. Conversations about solidarity-building led these communities to found NCEJN, which formalized decades-long partnerships among communities, researchers, lawyers, and justice-oriented organizations. NCEJN’s founders created the organization to assist communities organizing against injustice and to connect them to folks facing similar issues and to external resources and groups who could provide support. Crucial to that mission was the 1999 hiring of Naeema Muhammad, a seasoned grassroots leader of Black Workers for Justice, to lead community organizing.
