The Alternatives for Community and Environment (ACE) builds the power of communities of color and low-income communities in Massachusetts to eradicate environmental racism and classism, create healthy, sustainable communities, and achieve environmental justice.

The Environmental Justice Assistance Network (EJAN) is a pro bono capacity-building and referral network that matches legal, scientific, public health, and technical experts with communities that are addressing environmental justice challenges.

The purpose of the Environmental Justice Assistance Network (EJAN) is;

• To respond to the legal and scientific needs of communities on the front line of environmental hazards- linking experts in law, policy, science, community organizing, and other relevant fields with community, faith, and municipal leaders in environmental justice communities; and
• To build the capacity of historically underrepresented groups to hold decision-makers accountable and meaningfully participate in decisions affecting their health, safety, environment, culture and quality of life.

They do this by matching people in need of pro-bono assistance with people willing to provide the information, expertise, and skills necessary to inform and win campaigns for environmental justice and climate justice. EJAN provides training to both sets of partners to facilitate effective, rewarding, and accountable partnerships.
