Wisconsin for Environmental Justice (W4EJ) is a statewide organization that mobilizes communities and advances policy and legal strategies to ensure polluters—not taxpayers—pay for climate damage.

​

We organize, advocate, and advance legal pathways for environmental justice.

Projected Costs to Wisconsin Communities:

$16.7 billion by 2040

Home Damage & Repairs
School Closures & Building Upgrades
Higher Local Spending & Taxes

Wisconsin communities and taxpayers are increasingly paying for climate-related infrastructure repairs, extreme weather damage, and emergency response needs.

What Environmental Justice Means

When climate damage creates real costs for infrastructure, emergency response, and public services, local taxpayers shouldn’t foot the bill.

​

We mobilize communities and advance policy and legal strategies that require responsible parties to pay their fair share of the documented costs facing Wisconsin communities.
