Mission
The people's port authority is an environmental justice community organization led by residents of south providence and washington park to educate, mobilize, and support our community members that are directly impacted by environmental racism. The legacy of extraction, colonialism, and slavery that results in the concentration of toxic industries and pollution in black, brown, indigenous, communities of color causing disproportionate harm, health crises, and early death among their residents. Our mission is to educate our community about the facilities in our neighborhoods that threaten our well being, mobilize the community to resist the expansion of these facilities, urge government decision-makers to shut them down and implement community oversight, and support each other as our lives are constantly under attack by systemic injustice.
