National Equal Justice Association (NEJA) is an all-volunteer organization that works to secure equal justice for poor and minority workers and their families struggling to obtain fair wages, nutritional food, health care, clean and affordable water, and safe working and living conditions. NEJA’s efforts continue to inform and unite potential allies to demand implementation of the United Nations 17 Goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
Using the 17 goals as a framework for action, NEJA works to build and consolidate the business, scientific, community, and other partners for sustainable solutions for the cleanup and restoration of our air, water, and land across the nations, particularly communities with Superfund or Brownfield sites, utilizing Bayview Hunter’s Point as an example.
NEJA’s Equal Justice Training Academy provides training and education to youth, minority, social and environmental justice leadership with an emphasis on environmental justice and community outreach. Participants build connections between community leaders, academics, and scientists while learning about and building the movement infrastructure necessary to unite scientists with the social and environmental justice movements of communities in need of environmental clean-up and sustainable development for the future.
A bi-monthly “Climate Change Solutions” workshop to organizations and communities acts as another way to bring people unite communities and groups together for collective learning and impact.
