The release of this toolkit is sponsored by the Center for Health, Environment and Justice’s (CHEJ) Greening Schools Inside & Out Campaign.
CHEJ greatly appreciates the support of the CS Fund, Marisla Foundation, ELCA World Hunger, Kresge Foundation, New York Community Trust, Park Foundation, and Patagonia for its work to promote precaution and prevention.
About the Center for Health, Environment and Justice (CHEJ)
CHEJ mentors the movement to build healthier communities by empowering people to prevent the harm caused by chemical and toxic threats. We accomplish our work by connecting local community groups to national initiatives and corporate campaigns. CHEJ works with communities to empower groups by providing the tools, strategic vision, and encouragement they need to advocate for human health and the prevention of harm.
Following her successful effort to prevent further harm for families living in contaminated Love Canal, Lois Gibbs founded CHEJ in 1981 to continue the journey. To date, CHEJ has assisted over 10,000 groups nationwide. Details on CHEJ’s efforts to help families and communities prevent harm can be found on www.chej.org.
