CAER is a student organization committed to bridging the gap between the struggle for social and environmental equality.

Environmental Racism addresses the fact that poor people, but specifically communities of color, are disproportionately impacted by pollution, waste disposal, hazardous sites, resource depletion, and natural disasters.

CAER exists as a resistance to this inequality and as a strong piece of the Environmental Justice Movement, a mobilization of people, communities, and organizations fighting environmental racism in urban and rural settings across the country and the world. CAER works to build alliances with student unions, social justice groups, environmental organizations and the community in order to think globally and act locally.
