Reports

• 2011 ACE Annual Report (pdf)

Read about our Diesel Emissions Reduction Ordinance (DERO), green jobs created through the Green Justice Coalition, a breakthrough in our youth transit pass campaign and more.

"The stereotype that youth don't care just fuels my fire. Look how messed up things are, right here in our face. I want to outreach more and march to let people know what we want!"

—Anthony Rivers, ACE Member

• 2010 ACE Annual Report (pdf)

Read about cleaning up Boston's air, retrofitting garbage trucks, our trip to the US Social Forum and more.

"I believe in the work that ACE is doing. Being in court with the other residents to testify against the power plant was really empowering. It showed that common citizens...can stand up and have their voices heard."

—Leigh Hall, ACE Member

• 2009 ACE Annual Report (pdf)

Check out our open letter to the MBTA, the first victory of our youth pass campaign and our newest green justice initiative.

"ACE works because people have to come together to get leverage. We show that more than one person agrees on this issue and we need more people to be engaged. Change is coming, it just takes time and hard work. We're gonna win, we just need to keep fighting."

—Taisha O’Bryant, ACE Member

• 2008 ACE Annual Report (pdf)

See the results of our bus service campaign, how we're working to stop diesel pollution and a clean air victory in Chelsea.

"REEP has inspired me to stand up for what's right, to never give up, and most of all, achieve my goals. Through REEP, we get a chance to go to decision-makers and state our opinions. It gives us a chance to express ourselves."

—Shameka Blake-Johnson,
—REEP Youth Organizer

• 2007 ACE Annual Report (pdf)

Read up on our campaigns for MBTA Debt Relief, stopping youth violence and ending foul odors in neighborhoods.

"ACE is one of the groups that has transformed the 'environmental movement' to the Environmental Justice movement. People of color and people living on low incomes are organizing and aren't afraid to talk about some of the root causes of environmental problems, like race and class."

—Pam Rogers, ACE Member
