Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
CCEJ provides technical assistance to community groups trying to reduce toxic exposures in urban areas throughout Connecticut, as well as grass-roots organizing in Hartford through the Hartford Environmental Justice Network (HEJN), in New Haven, through the New Haven Environmental Justice Network (NH-EJN), and in Bridgeport, through the Fairfield County Envrionemtnal Justice Network.
We provide environmental health information and education, as well as assistance in interpreting technical environmental information. We also assist in referrals for legal and other assistance. We mostly help people make the connections between health, environmental exposures, and environmental policy.
Our efforts focus primarily on the relationship between outdoor air pollution and asthma. We are currently working to prevent the re-opening of a long dormant power plant in Fairhaven, a largely Latino residential section of New Haven, and to reduce diesel emissions, especially from school buses and transit buses in Hartford, Bridgeport, and New Haven, as part of CCEJ's asthma initiative.
