Detroiters Working for Environmental Justice
Detroiters Working for Environmental Justice (DWEJ) is organized to empower individuals, communities and community organizations in Southeast Michigan to educate, advocate and organize for cleaner, healthier communities and environments.
Since 1994, DWEJ has been a voice for environmental justice in Michigan. Historically, minority and low-income populations have suffered disproportionately from environmental pollution, often because they have the least capacity to respond. Therefore, DWEJ is dedicated to empowering urban residents to take a meaningful role in the decision-making process surrounding environmental concerns in their own communities.
