Urban Environmentalists

Vision

We are people working towards a future of cities and towns with abundant housing, work and play only a short bike or transit ride away; safe and independent mobility for all; lively and green public spaces; clean air and water; and affordability for all who wish to live there.

Values

1. Environmentalism. All people are entitled to healthy communities and environments that are supportive of human life and the life of non-human species. We believe that achieving this requires a stable climate.
2. Building for people. We promote vibrant, diverse urban communities that nurture their inhabitants and benefit society, and provide abundant housing and opportunities for all.​
3. Sharing space. We value efficient, equitable use of all limited, shared resources; in particular, our planet’s land is an essential, fixed resource whose benefits should be broadly shared.

Chapters

Urban Environmentalists has chapters in Illinois, Los Angeles, and the San Francisco Bay Area, with roughly 10,000 activists nationwide. Our work is driven by our grassroots volunteer Leads, Advisory Board, and activists like you. We are a part of the YIMBY Action network.
