Mission
The Center on Race, Poverty & the Environment (CRPE) has a three prong mission: 1) CRPE seeks to empower individual rural residents so that they leave a particular environmental fight with more skills than when they entered it; 2) CRPE ensures that the community involved is more united and has a greater voice in decisions that affect it than prior to the environ-mental struggle; and 3) CRPE works to directly address the environmental danger the community faces.
Main Issue(s)
CRPE is an environmental justice organization working with low income communities of color on air quality, pesticides and land use issues in California's Central Valley.
