EDGE Philly (Is-Past)
EDGE Philly is a group of activists & artists committed to Ending Dirty Gas Exploitation by Encouraging Development of a Green Economy.
We believe that the fight for environmental justice is inextricably linked to the fight against systemic oppressions such as racism, misogyny, and ableism. To value life means to value quality of life and equitable access to essential resources (clean air, water, and land) for all. EDGE feels that existing options for involvement led by NGOs and parachute activists aren’t the right fit for many people who are directly affected by fossil fuel infrastructure. People deserve the ability to act autonomously for their communities while still connecting to broader efforts.
