“All people have a right to a clean and healthy environment where their communities can live, work, learn, play, and thrive. Towards this vision, APEN brings a collective voice to develop an alternative agenda for environmental, social, and economic justice.
Through building an organized movement, we strive to bring fundamental changes to economic and social institutions that will prioritize public good over profits and promote the right of every person to a decent, safe, affordable quality of life and the right to participate in decisions affecting our lives. APEN holds this vision of environmental justice for all people. Our work focuses on Asian immigrant and refugee communities.”
The website clearly shows that their approach to collective community organizing together is stronger than the crises that threaten them. APEN’s mission is conveyed in the various campaigns and programs focusing on climate justice, immigrant rights, and workers’ rights.
