This past April, we at CHEJ celebrated our 42nd Anniversary and our 53rd Earth Day! Although we as a nation have come so far in regards to environmental justice since 40-50 plus years ago, there is still so much left that we need to accomplish.

Since February, CHEJ’s Science Director and toxicologist, Stephen Lester, has been participating in the community response to the ecological disaster in East Palestine, OH. During his time there, Stephen’s 40 plus years of scientific and environmental justice expertise has been covered by several leading news organizations.

We at CHEJ are excited to introduce our new monthly newsletter, The Backyard Monthly! This newsletter is designed to provide you with an update on CHEJ’s monthly activities. Our blogs, monthly training calls, Toxic Tuesdays, and more can now all be accessed and viewed in one, digestible email.
