Mission & Goals
Since 1988, Earthworks has helped communities secure protections of their health, land, water, and air from extractive industries. We are the only national organization in the U.S. to focus exclusively on preventing the destructive impacts of the extraction of oil, gas, and minerals. Earthworks protects communities and the environment from the adverse impacts of mineral and energy development while promoting sustainable solutions. We’re driven by our commitment to collaborate with communities on the frontline, using science in innovative ways, and building people power to ensure a more just and livable future. Earthworks fights for clean air, water and land, healthy communities, and corporate accountability. We work for solutions that protect the Earth’s resources, our climate, and our communities. Earthworks aims to help humanity transition more justly and equitably away from fossil fuels and rely less on new mining.
