Coalition for Environment, Equity and Resilience

The Coalition for Environment, Equity & Resilience (CEER) is a coalition made up of 27 nonprofit member organizations that came together after Hurricane Harvey to advance policy solutions for our most pressing environmental issues. CEER aims to drive community voices into decision-making processes to promote equity and resilience by emphasizing land, water, air, waste, and housing policies that reduce human exposure to pollution and strengthen environmental conservation. We envision a region that is equitable, environmentally sustainable and economically strong where residents have the opportunity to live, work, learn, play and pray free from environmental hazards. To make that vision a reality, we advocate for public and private investment and policy that cleans up hazards that contaminate our air, water, and land, while at the same time prevent or reduce flooding. Our set of policy solutions is gathered in our eight point plan, found on www.ceerhouston.org.
