Community-based equity work
We stand with communities that have been historically impacted by inequities and environmental injustices, and are working to support these communities in their fight for a more equitable future. NC Conservation Network strives to work in collaboration with these communities to do the following:
- elevate their concerns;
- support policies and actions that address those concerns; and
- improve public health and the environment for the residents.
Our programs
NC Conservation Network works to advance equity in the following ways: 1) working on-the-ground with communities to create change; and 2) convening a select group of community leaders (the Environmental Justice Community Connector Initiative) representing key issues and areas of the state, and serving as voices and advisors. Find out more about these programs through the pages below.
