Our Team
Our Movement
We work to build environmental justice through democratic, revolutionary organizing. And we believe that an educated and organized mass of everyday people can transform society from a force of environmental destruction to one of healing and regeneration.
Our Ideas

East Michigan Environmental Action Council works to build a movement to produce environmental justice as a transformation of society. We do not exercise state power and we do not have massive money wealth; we will not solve our problems with the stroke of a pen. Yet our communities have generated all of the wealth around us and the power of the state is only legitimate if it works in the interest of our collective wellbeing. So we work collectively to energize and enlighten society as a whole to act to produce justice in our environment. As such, we work to build a transformative environmental justice movement from within the broad base of neighborhoods and communities of Southeast Michigan. We analyze our community’s collective problems and work toward real solutions, those that address root causes and produce lasting change, working within our Six Pillars of Power:

  • Science & Knowledge Production
  • Eco-Socialism: Ecological & Economic Freedom
  • Black Liberation: Internationalism & Solidarity
  • People’s schools: Political Education & Organizing
  • Black Arts & Culture: Spiritual Grounding & Ancestral Veneration
  • Radical Futurity: Youth Power & Intergenerational Study
