Office of Environmental Justice & Equity (OEJE)

The Massachusetts Office of Environmental Justice and Equity (OEJE) works to make sure environmental and energy systems benefit everyone. We help all Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) agencies put equity at the center of their policies and programs, making sure all voices are heard and included. Our goal is to support meaningful community engagement and create more equitable public policies.

Who We Serve

The Office of Environmental Justice and Equity serves all residents of the Commonwealth, with a focus on communities most impacted by environmental harms and underinvestment, and which have been historically excluded from decision-making. 

For Community Members

Your voice matters—especially if you live in a community that has faced environmental injustices. This section offers background information and ways you can get involved in shaping policies that impact your community now and in the future.
