At WCC we believe environmental, economic and social justice are connected, which is why we focus on campaigns that promote equity and the physical and economic of health of people as we fight to protect the environment that makes the Western Slope such a special place to live.

As John Muir said, “when we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything in the universe.”

Good jobs and healthy communities are embedded in our campaigns around mining, clean energy and agriculture, but we also do work that focuses specifically on building just communities. We know that economic and social stability are keys to a healthy environment.
