About Wisconsin for Environmental Justice

We empower communities in Wisconsin to demand environmental justice by holding the fossil fuel industry accountable through education and legal action, thereby creating a much-needed revenue stream for local governments and securing a healthy and resilient future for all, today and for generations to come. We envision a Wisconsin where communities, economies, and ecosystems thrive because all people have the power to heal and protect their environment, local governments benefit from the accountability of the fossil fuel industry, and those responsible for its destruction are held accountable. Core principles: -We champion environmental justice by prioritizing the needs of communities most impacted by pollution. -We advocate for shifting the financial burden of pollution from communities to polluters, thereby creating a revenue stream for local governments. -We empower communities with the knowledge and legal support to demand environmental protection. -We work to ensure polluters are held legally and financially accountable for environmental impacts, generating revenue that benefits local communities and governments. -We believe in the power of collective action and collaboration to create lasting change. Our values: -Compassion: We approach our work with empathy for the communities and ecosystems we serve. -Integrity: We are transparent and ethical in all our actions and communications. -Science Driven: Our work is grounded in the best scientific data and research available. -Community: We foster collaboration and collective action, believing that working together strengthens our impact and protects our shared natural world, while also supporting the financial well-being of local governments.
