ABOUT CCE/CONTACT

Citizens Campaign for the Environment (CCE) was formed in 1985 by a small group of concerned citizens who recognized the need to provide public involvement in the course of advancing stronger environmental policy. Today, after 20 years as a not-for-profit, non-partisan advocacy organization, CCE has grown to an 80,000-member organization with offices in Farmingdale, NY, White Plains, NY, Albany, NY, Syracuse, NY, Buffalo, NY, and New Haven, CT. CCE continues to work to empower the public by providing members with opportunities to participate in the political process and thereby advance a progressive environmental agenda.

Through education, research, lobbying and public outreach, CCE helps citizens to increase their influence and activism, both individually and collectively. Through such activism, citizens will have a stronger voice in the development of public policies and legislative agendas.

CCE's experienced program staff works to identify key environmental concerns in communities across New York State and coastal Connecticut. By working with other environmental activists and through ongoing communication with local, state and federal elected officials and environmental and public health agencies, CCE has been successful in advancing policies and programs that benefit the natural environment and public health. Our achievements through public involvement have resulted in greater awareness and protection of drinking water quality, preservation of open spaces and a reduction in pollutants that impair our air and water resources.
