M.O.D.E.L Legislation Resources

As federal environmental protections continue to face challenges, the need for grassroots action is more urgent than ever. WE ACT for Environmental Justice, in collaboration with the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law, is committed to empowering frontline communities to take a stand. It’s time to elevate your voice and support your community in local governance so that environmental justice can be achieved in your area. Together, we’ve created a set of M.O.D.E.L legislation that is intended to help you create policy change at the local level.

Our partnership aims to equip you with the necessary tools to effectively advocate for legislative changes that address the cumulative impacts of pollution and other environmental justice challenges through organizing and policy actions. By utilizing the toolkit below meant to support advancing the bills in our package, you can take your advocacy to the next level and help shape state and local legislation to create a healthier, more sustainable environment for your community.

Here’s how you can take action!
