Mission

Major Activities

Activity 2

The Environment & Health program engages in a wide spectrum of activities to promote a healthy, just, and sustainable world locally and globally. The environmental component promotes integrated approaches to sustainability that combine or cross issues of environmental protection, sustainable resource use, green jobs and economies, and environmental justice. Programmatic activities include working to combat global warming, promoting alternative energies, establishing environmentally sustainable business practices, encouraging voter participation on environmental issues, and educating the public. The health component works across the full spectrum of health-related issues, from increasing healthcare access for underserved populations to health care reform and policy, and from reproductive justice to providing research and resources on specific health issues including HIV/AIDS, schizophrenia, hepatitis C, and cancer.

Activity 3

The Community Development & Services program works to reestablish the social, economic, spiritual, and cultural foundations of community by creating new and creative solutions and working to combat structural inequalities at the local level to positively impact society at large. This program aims to promote localization, reclaim control of community resources, establish participatory decision-making mechanisms, and achieve improvements in livelihoods, social infrastructure, and the local environment. While the strategies to achieve these goals varies, most often projects deliver or improve direct services; provide education and training programs on critical issues; engage in grassroots organizing; build capacity in specific locations or populations; and promote problem-solving that supports local partnership and collaboration. Populations that benefit from the work of Community Development & Services projects range from youth, the LGBT community, and the elderly to the incarcerated, victims of domestic abuse, and the formerly homeless.
