your rights to clean Energy

As a vital part of the Ironbound Community Corporation (ICC), Ironbound Justice is deeply engaged in advocating for cleaner energy solutions in Newark. According to recent data from the American Lung Association's "State of the Air" report for 2021, Newark ranks as the 13th most polluted city in the United States for short-term particle pollution, with an average of 13.5 unhealthy air days per year. These statistics underscore the urgent need for action to improve air quality and protect public health.

Through our community-centered approach, Ironbound Justice is actively championing renewable energy initiatives aimed at reducing harmful emissions and improving air quality for Newark residents. Our efforts include promoting solar panel installations, advocating for energy-efficient practices, and fostering partnerships with local stakeholders to accelerate the transition to clean energy. By embracing sustainable energy solutions, we're not only safeguarding public health but also paving the way for a greener and more resilient future for Newark and its communities.
