"We can't save the planet without uplifting the voices of its people, especially those most often unheard. We should care about the protection of people as much as we care about the protection of the planet - to me, these fights are the same."
Leah Thomas - The Intersectional Environmentalist
From Awareness to Action: Our Commitment to Environmental Justice
Empowering communities to confront and overcome environmental injustices, the Williams Environmental Justice Clinic unites the passion and expertise of students, staff, and faculty of Williams College. Together, we stand against the inequitable burdens of environmental harm that disproportionately impact marginalized communities, advocating for fair treatment and meaningful involvement in environmental decision-making.
Through our technical expertise, we not only identify the sources of pollution, but also aim to empower communities seeking justice and reparations. Our approach is rooted in genuine partnership with the communities we serve, ensuring that our efforts are aligned with their needs and led by their voices.
We invite anyone facing the challenges of environmental contamination and harm to discover how our clinic can support your fight for justice. Together, we can build a more equitable and sustainable future.
