About

Our mission is to advance healthy air & environmental justice in the greater-Birmingham area through education, advocacy, and collaboration. We envision a healthy, just, and sustainable Alabama for everyone who lives, works, learns, and worships here. We strive to reduce air pollution, to educate the public on the health risks associated with poor air quality and to encourage community leaders to serve as role models for clean air and clean energy development. 

We believe…

🌤 Every Alabamian has the right to breathe clean, healthy air.
🌤 Health should be a top priority for lawmakers, regulators, and businesses.
🌤 Clean, renewable energy is essential to a healthy, just, and sustainable Alabama.
🌤 All levels of government must be transparent and accountable to the people of Alabama.
🌤 Alabamians deserve the opportunity to live a healthy life no matter their race, ZIP code, or socioeconomic status.
🌤 Elected officials and regulators have a moral duty to protect public health and act in Alabama’s long-term best interest.
