COMING CLEANS MISSION IS TO MEANINGFULLY CONTRIBUTE TO ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND JUSTICE BY RADICALLY REDUCING SOURCES OF CHEMICAL EXPOSURE IN PEOPLES LIVES, ESPECIALLY DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTED POPULATIONS; TO AGGRESSIVELY ADVOCATE FOR CORPORATE AND MARKETPLACE CHANGES AS A DRIVER FOR POLICY SOLUTIONS THAT ADDRESS TOXIC CHEMICALS AS A PUBLIC HEALTH THREAT; AND TO POSITION ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND JUSTICE GROUPS AS LEADERS IN BUILDING HEALTHY AND RESILIENT COMMUNITIES LOCALLY AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
Coming Clean released an animated video of our 2018 report, Life at the Fenceline: Understanding Cumulative Health Hazards in Environmental Justice Communities, in collaboration with the Natural Resources Defense Council and award-winning artist, Molly Crabapple. The video illustrates the cumulative health hazards confronted by communities living within three miles of high-risk chemical facilities, and the racial and economic demographics of those communities. In July, Coming Clean hosted a two-and-a-half-day General Strategy Meeting for some 70 Coming Clean members in Louisville, KY. The meeting was co-hosted by Rubbertown Emergency ACTion, a Louisville-based grassroots member of Coming Clean and affiliate of the Environmental Justice Health Alliance (EJHA) for Chemical Policy Reform. The meeting further aligned our membership and activities behind a bottom-up, justice-based agenda that supports grassroots organizations and campaigns; connects the grassroots and national campaigns on petrochemicals, fossil fuels, climate change and health; and builds the capacity of Coming Clean to serve our environmental health and justice members, objectives, and outcomes. Coming Clean and the Environmental Justice Health Alliance for Chemical Policy Reform (EJHA) partnered with the Natural Resources Defense Council to issue a new report, Watered Down Justice, analyzing nationwide violations of the Safe Drinking Water Act from 2016 to 2019. The analysis revealed that race, ethnicity, and language had the strongest relationship to slow and inadequate enforcement of the Safe Drinking Water Act, meaning that water systems that serve the communities that are the most marginalized are more likely to be in violation of the law and to stay in violation for longer periods of time.The Campaign for Healthier Solutions secured significant commitments and actions from the top dollar store discount chains advancing its campaign to encourage dollar store chains to protect their customers and the communities in which they operate by implementing corporate chemical policies to identify and phase out harmful chemicals in the products they sell: Dollar General initiated the phase-out of eight (8) chemicals of concern; Dollar Tree participated in the Chemical Footprint Project; and 99 Cents Only committed to begin talks with the campaign.
