OUR MISSION AND VISION

Our mission is to educate, organize, and provide resources to underserved communities. Our vision is a region built on mobility, equity, and environmental justice.

Healthy Active Streets is an anti-racist, community-based organization. To us, that means fostering an environment where everyone—regardless of race or skin color—knows they are valued and feels free to express themselves. We recognize that systemic and interpersonal racism harm the health of people of color. So we work to identify, discuss, challenge, and dismantle racism in everything we do, while creating safe spaces for people to learn and grow.
