Environmental Justice Community Action Network (EJCAN)

EJCAN is a North Carolina-based, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization focused on, and dedicated to, achieving environmental justice. EJCAN provides resources to communities in Sampson County, NC seeking assistance in improving the environment where they live, work, play and pray. EJCAN serves these communities by empowering them with the technical, scientific, legal, educational and funding resources they need to overcome the powerful interests that stand in the way of successfully addressing the environmental problems they face. Beyond helping communities solve environmental problems, EJCAN also helps communities gain access to their fair share of environmental benefits. EJCAN approaches this work with an intentional focus on the intersections between the environment, social justice, economic justice and civil rights.
