environmental justice community coalition

Duwamish River Community Coalition

A Seattle environmental-justice organization centering Duwamish Valley residents affected by pollution, climate risk, and the Lower Duwamish Superfund cleanup. It scores highly because affected-community voice, environmental justice, and accountable public pressure are materially stronger than ordinary advocacy or consultancy models.

Why this matters: DRCC adds an exact South Seattle environmental-justice location and a strong calibration point for affected-resident power around industrial pollution.
