Sierra Club mission statement

To explore, enjoy, and protect the wild places of the earth;
To practice and promote the responsible use of the earth’s ecosystems and resources;
To educate and enlist humanity to protect and restore the quality of the natural and human environment; and to use all lawful means to carry out these objectives.

Miami Group environmental justice mission statement

We are proud of the many environmental justice projects we have been working on here at the Miami Group. We must continue to engage the communities of Southwest Ohio and listen to the voices of leadership on the front lines of injustice. How can we be more collaborative and inclusive in our work? How can we engage our own and future generations?

The Mission of the Miami Group is to create a culture in which all communities benefit from the same degree of protection from economic harm, human health risks, and ecological damage, due to climate disruption and industrial pollution. No group of people should bear a disproportionate burden of the negative consequences resulting from corporate, governmental, or agency operations. We therefore seek to address the inequities in the way governments respond to these dangers, and as consumers, call out the world’s top polluters and make them – their markets and their patrons – answerable for the true cost to the planet.

To further protect our planet’s future and build power in the environmental movement, the Miami Group will endeavor to attract a greater racial, cultural, generational, and disability-inclusive diversity into its membership. To widen the circle of empathy, we will include in our conversations and in our leadership, the voices of those in poverty living on the front lines of injustice; the voices of Indigenous peoples fighting to protect our sacred wilderness; and the voices of youth crying out for climate justice.
