Environmental Research Foundation

Environmental Research Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1980. We have offices in New Brunswick, NJ and work nationally. In 1980, we began by supporting grass-roots activists working on toxics and social justice issues in New Jersey and in 1986 we began publishing Rachel's News. Our work is increasingly about preventing h... arm to the environment and human health and providing resources to environmental justice (EJ) community groups to better protect their local communities. Our mission is justice and sustainable prosperity for all people. Citizens - armed with information - have always been the engine driving change. As Margaret Mead famously said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." Our vision is to build a multi-issue, multi-racial, multi-ethnic movement for a just and sustainable society. To build such a movement, our strategy is to work on the ground, in a support role, shoulder-to-shoulder with environmental justice activists and to provide information and ideas that we make it our business to seek out.Read More
