EJAC is committed to the basic tenet set forth by the Environmental Justice Movement that all communities, regardless of their racial, ethnic, or economic composition, are entitled to equal protection from the consequences of environmental hazards. Accordingly, EJAC provides a valuable forum for discussions about integrating Environmental Justice into DEP's programs, policies, and activities. EJAC members represent broad-based constituents and geography. This statewide, diverse representation provides guidance, builds DEP's capacity and improves its support of the state’s Environmental Justice constituents and stakeholders. Through the established working groups: Environmental Education and Communications (EEC), Air, Land, and Water, each member of EJAC focuses directly and primarily on the issue(s) for which his/her working group was created.
