GASP

GASP Working to advance healthy air and environmental justice throughout the Greater-Birmingham area. Our vision is a healthy, sustainable and just Alabama.

Our mission is to advance healthy air and environmental justice in the Greater-Birmingham area through education, advocacy and organizing. We strive to reduce air pollution, to educate the public on the health risks associated with poor air quality and to encourage community leaders to serve as role models for clean air and clean energy development. Our Values:
🌤 We believe every Alabamian has the

right to breathe clean air.
🌤 We believe your health should be the first priority when considering policies that affect our community’s air quality.
🌤 We believe elected officials and regulators have a moral obligation to protect public health and act as stewards of our natural resources.
🌤 We believe that a person’s ZIP code, race, or socioeconomic status shouldn’t determine whether or not they can live a healthy life.

Our work is powered by people, strong teams, and connection. We recently spent the afternoon laughing, cheering, and enjoying each other's company and it served as a reminder that our alliance is essential to sustaining this work.

That is why we join communities across the country in observing Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the end of slavery in the US and honors the ongoing pursuit of freedom, justice, and equity. These values remain at the heart of our work, and remind us that environmental justice is intertwined in the fight for healthy, thriving communities.

Following the holiday, we will begin our annual summer break, where our office will be closed for the next two weeks. As we believe that taking time to rest and recharge helps ensure we can return ready for the work ahead.

We look forward to coming back refreshed and ready to continue advocating for clean air and healthier communities.🌤️

They may not be old enough to vote, but their future is on the ballot. So a group of Alabama kids started an organization to activate the nonvoters in their families.

To pull this off we’re looking for committed volunteers that want to make a difference in our communities.

Pride is a month dedicated to equality. At GASP, we believe that everyone deserves the right to clean air no matter their ZIP code, race, economic background, or sexual orientation.

It is widely known that minority groups such as the LGBTQIA+ community face disproportionate adversities, including environmental injustices. That is why we celebrate Pride: to remind ourselves that the fight for equality extends beyond legislation and representation. It includes access to healthy communities, safe housing, clean air, and the opportunity for all people to thrive.

As we celebrate Pride this month, we reaffirm our commitment to building a future where every person can live, work, play, and breathe free from pollution and discrimination.

Happy Pride Month! 🌈

We’re 1 week away from our second installment of Justice in the Margins!

We’ve created an open and free space to talk about intersectional climate issues and explore different ideas and perspectives on how to reach the climate solutions our communities need.

This time, we’re reading Climate Change is Racist by Jeremy Williams to kick off these conversations.

Need help getting your book? We have plenty on hand available for purchase. *Local Pickup Only*

Primary Elections are TODAY!

As a part of our civic engagement work we put together a comprehensive voting guide for St. Clair County.

We focused on St. Clair because environmental justice issues made by local leadership in surrounding communities directly impacts air quality, public health, economic development, and the future of Alabama.

You can view the full guide here: https://heyzine.com/flip-book/f028e8a5a8.html to get vital information on who’s running as county commissioner and district representatives.
Don’t let your vote go to waste!

Volunteers are expected to show up at 7:30 AM to assist with set-up. Pop-up markets go by quickly so we are advising everyone attending to be on time!
