ACE builds the power of communities of color and lower income to eradicate environmental racism and classism and achieve environmental justice. Everyone has the right to a healthy environment and to be decision-makers in issues affecting our communities. ACE is anchoring a movement of people who have been excluded from decision-making to confront power directly and demand fundamental changes in the rules of the game Together we can achieve our right to a healthy environment. In this episode we will hear from urban youth about two projects: Roxbury Environmental Empowerment Project, where school-based environmental justice curriculum, an after-school youth leadership program and youth-led organizing all come together for youth leadership in the neighborhood; and The T Rider’s Union organizing public transit riders to build a unified voice and movement for better transportation serving transit dependent communities where riders are not likely to own cars. www.ace-ej.org
