ACE builds the power of lower income people/communities and communities of color in New England to eradicate environmental racism and classism to achieve environmental justice. We believe that everyone has the right to a healthy environment and to be decision-makers in issues affecting their communities.

The dirty-energy economy has brought pollution and poverty to too many. But a clean-energy economy can bring opportunity, health, and wealth to struggling communities. Clean-energy jobs such as weatherizing homes, installing solar panels, and manufacturing wind turbines will put people to work in their own communities.
A new green economy will provide opportunity to people who have been left out of the old economy. That is the promise of Green For All.
