Mission Statement
Our mission is to engage North Carolina in initiatives that advance environmental health and justice by advocating for safe alternatives to harmful pesticides and chemicals. We envision a toxic-free North Carolina that is part of a just and equitable global community where human and environmental health are valued, respected, and enjoyed by all.
About This Cause
Toxic Free North Carolina, founded in 1986, is a nonprofit organization that fights pollution from pesticides and other toxic contaminants in North Carolina by advocating for safer alternatives that protect our health and environment. We focus on reducing exposures for the people whose health is most at risk from pesticides and pollution, including low-income communities, communities of color, children, pregnant women, migrant farmworkers, and other vulnerable populations. Through policy and programs like Just & Sustainable Agriculture, Toxic Free Families, the Environmental Justice Academy for farmworkers and families, and the Women of Color Farmers Network, we are moving the needle toward toward a system in which decision-makers consider the needs of whole communities impacted by multiple injustices, acknowledge the cumulative and longitudinal impact of chemicals in the environment, and respect the right to clean air, clean water, and healthy food for all. Toxic Free NC has been widely recognized for its effective work on pesticide reform in the state.
