New Jersey Student Climate Advocates (NJSCA) : A coalition of high school, college, and

graduate students from across NJ (mostly in Northern/Central Jersey; we work via Zoom). We seek

to make space for justice in mainstream climate policy efforts, working together with communities

to develop policy and other grassroots initiatives, all while advocating for an equitable and sustainable future.

We're currently working on a team wide EJ x NUTRITION project of exploring how we can help educate the broader public on existing environmental justice research/advocacy and the overlap between food insecurity and environmental justice in NJ! We plan to research issues pertaining to food/health issues in underserved communities and outreach to collaborate with current organizations working on mitigating said issues.
This would be our team wide project!

More information on our teams:

Publicity team
- Members create social media posts spreading awareness on environmental justice issues

Community Action team
- Members reach out and help collaborate with organizations working on Environmental Justice advocacy. Sometimes including opportunity for in-person volunteering.

Policy Engagement team
- Members research environmental policy and said research helps collaborating organizations.

We are also looking for people with experience in data science to help work on our white paper for the EJ x NUTRITION project!
