What Center for Community Action and Environmental Justice does
Mission
Ccaej developed the belief that the key to effectively solving community problems lies in bringing the diverse segments of the community together in one strong voice by utilizing the skills, talents, and knowledge of each community member.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Goods movement/healthy communities campaignover the past several years, our goods movement campaign has continued its work to provide support, training, and information to communities struggling with the devastating public health effects of air pollution caused by the goods movement industry - railroads, inter-modal facilities, and diesel trucks that originate at the ports of los angeles (the single largest port complex in the nation). We are actively advocating for zero emission solutions for the region. In addition, we are also advocating for land use policies that priortize community health over industry and that offer adequate buffers between industrial projects, schools, and homes.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $548k to $2.1M (+292%).
