ABOUT ACE AND EJAN
WHAT IS EJAN?
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.
In collaboration with Slingshot, Conservation Law Foundation, and the Boston University School of Public Health, ACE relaunched this program in May 2024.
