About us
Founded in 2002, the nonprofit Center for Progressive Reform is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit research and educational organization comprising a network of scholars across the nation dedicated to protecting health, safety, and the environment through analysis and commentary. CPR believes sensible safeguards in these areas serve important shared values, including doing the best we can to prevent harm to people and the environment, distributing environmental harms and benefits fairly, and protecting the earth for future generations. CPR rejects the view that the economic efficiency of private markets should be the only value used to guide government action. Rather, CPR supports thoughtful government action and reform to advance the well-being of human life and the environment. Additionally, CPR believes people play a crucial role in ensuring both private and public sector decisions that result in improved protection of consumers, public health and safety, and the environment. Accordingly, CPR supports ready public access to the courts, enhanced public participation, and improved public access to information.

Big Oil sells #carboncapture as a solution to #climatechange, but it's actually perpetuating racial injustices — especially in places like New Orleans where Black communities already grappling with the toll of pollution are facing even more risks from the new @st-charles-clean-fuels CCS plant. There are plenty of legitimate and viable climate solutions out there that don’t fatten #BigOil’s bottom line at the expense of people’s health. We should be pursuing those — not CCS. https://lnkd.in/eh5AR5kN
Carbon Capture Means More Pollution for Black Communities in Cancer Alley

"While the Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) were significant steps forward, there remains much work to do to meet the urgent needs of our communities. The Latino Climate Justice Framework (LCJF) by GreenLatinos lays out a comprehensive framework for how we must expand on these commitments to see tangible results in our communities, particularly to address transportation and shipping-related pollution." – Rep. Nanette Barragán https://lnkd.in/ecjj_v7n #EligeClima #LCJF
Rep. Barragán wants to electrify America’s busiest container port. Here’s why this matters to Latino voters
