GASP
About this Organization
Fighting air pollution is our raison d'être. We educate the public about the harmful health effects of pollution and provide tools to make healthy choices. We deploy and maintain community air monitors that track pollution in frontline neighborhoods, giving residents data they can trust. We also use the power of the law to strengthen regulations, pollution permits, and enforcement. Our aim is simple: healthier air for everyone-no matter their zip code, race, or income. We offer presentations to community groups, clubs, churches, and other gatherings.
Climate change is one of the most urgent issues of our time. Already its effects are being felt, particularly among the most vulnerable. We equip people to become advocates for clean, renewable energy in Alabama.
Environmental justice is at our core because communities of color and low-income neighborhoods are disproportionately impacted. Birmingham's growth on iron and steel brought decades of pollution, compounded by segregation and redlining. Generations were sacrificed to contamination. We work to protect everyone's right to breathe clean, healthy air and to participate in decisions that affect their environment.
