Communities for a Better Environment (CBE) is a nonprofit organization founded in the 1970s. In 1978, CBE first established itself in response to the growing environmental activism movement to propel landmark policies such as Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and Endangered Species Act.
CBE’s efforts include community organizing, scientific research, and public education. They work to empower communities to advocate for their right to a healthy environment and challenge the unfair distribution of environmental harms that research has shown to impact low-income and communities of color.
