WHO ARE WE
Hello and welcome! We are Down East Coal Ash Environmental and Social Justice Coalition. We are dedicated to protecting the environment and advocating for the most frequently black, brown and poor white communities in eastern North Carolina that have been relogated to these toxic living situations largely as a result of corporate greed, corporate bulling and weak regulatory oversight; we are committed to fighting for Climate justice, ensuring Community restoration and community resilience.
Our Mission
Our mission is to protect the environment and work with communities in Eastern North Carolina that have been historically exploited, abused and marginalized because of their race or economic status.
What makes us different?

Our Tenets
A path of just transition toward 100% renewables, community restoration and proactive resilience planning and implementation.
