What we do
Oregon Toxics Alliance's mission is to work for all Oregonians to expose root causes of toxic pollution and help communities find solutions that protect human and environmental health. We adhere to two proactive commitments. Our first goal is to systematically challenge the root causes of toxic pollution in Oregon by changing policies and laws, and our second is to provide grassroots, direct-action on local projects to preserve the environment and protect public health. We build advocacy for changes in statewide public policy by supporting grassroots partnerships on local toxics issues. By involving affected residents, OTA creates larger public support for fundamental changes in chemical use policy.

What we believe in
Oregon Toxics Alliance believes that communities should have the right to clean air, land and water. Our organization was founded on the underlying principle that communities have a right to participate, with informed consent, in the decisions that affect their own health.

How we do our work
Communities are often confronted with a false dichotomy: choose between economic growth or a healthy environment. Oregon Toxics Alliance works to see that job growth does not, in reality, lead to pollution growth. When an Oregon community faces a potentially harmful activity or facility, we can help them address the risk for harm by:

  • Working to ensure a strong consideration of environmental justice and everyone's right to clean air, water, land and food
  • Exercising the community’s right-to-know about what is released into their air, water and soil
  • Employing alternative assessments that lead to toxics use reduction and elimination
  • Infusing the precautionary principle into all policy decisions.
