CLEANAIRNOW HAS FIVE GOALS

EMPOWERMENT

CleanAirNow will work to enable and empower youth and adults in the region’s most vulnerable communities to organize, lead, and advocate for their communities.

MONITORING

Continue and expand the air pollution monitoring activities of the Diesel Health Project, with a focus on monitoring overburdened communities near major polluting sites and transportation corridors.

EDUCATION

We will educate community members, youth, college students, and professionals on the health and climate change impacts of air pollution and how communities can work together.

POLICY DEVELOPMENT

We will be the Kansas City regional governance organization of the Moving Forward Network, and work with the Moving Forward Network to develop policies for the national network and will lead their implementation in the KC region. 

RESEARCH

We will develop opportunities for cross-disciplinary and community-based participatory research (CBPR) opportunities that bridge organizational and geographic boundaries to improve the health and lives of citizens.
