Member Spotlights

We'd be nothing without our members! 

Throughout 2022 we have been highlighting some of the many incredible organizations that make up Coming Clean. Watch the spotlight interview videos below or click on the name of any organization listed below to visit their full spotlight page.

 

Spotlight: Coming Clean and the Environmental Justice Health Alliance

The Environmental Justice Health Alliance for Chemical Policy Reform (EJHA) and Coming Clean work in strategic partnership, closely coordinating priorities and activities. This unique and deep partnership has benefited both EJHA and its affiliates, and Coming Clean and its members, by allowing both networks to retain their independent identities and leadership while achieving more together than they could alone.

We imagine a world where the earth is taken care of, workers are paid well and treated fairly, and there are no toxic chemicals in our homes, our communities, or our environment. In this world, every point in the cycle of production and consumption – from extraction, to processing, to use, to disposal – contributes not just to a less toxic world, but to a thriving world.

REACT is fighting for: strong laws to stop toxic air pollution from chemical plants, the protection of residents in the event of a leak, fire or explosion in a chemical plant or railcar, and full disclosure and easy access to information concerning the impact of Rubbertown on residents living nearby.
