The Center for Environmental & Economic Justice Inc (CEEJ) is a grassroots environmental justice and social justice organization based in Biloxi, MS. Committed to their community, CEEJ demonstrated their flexibility and responsiveness by swiftly addressing the critical needs of the Biloxi community after Hurricane Katrina, providing aid such as clothing, water, and baby supplies. Despite the damage caused to their office and infrastructure, CEEJ's dedicated staff worked tirelessly to organize resources for their community, focusing on the most vulnerable populations who were being overlooked by other agencies. Within days of the devastation, CEEJ established a Community Stabilization and Redevelopment Project, offering a call-in and walk-in center that served as a resource clearing house for displaced, jobless, and homeless community members. They provided local transportation, accepted truckloads of essential supplies, and assisted community members in finding employment and accessing aid vouchers. CEEJ's deep knowledge of the community and their longstanding relationships enabled them to effectively reach those most in need, demonstrating their unwavering commitment to environmental and economic justice in Biloxi.Generated from the website
