Alternatives for Community and Environment (ACE) is a Boston-based nonprofit organization operating within the civic and social sector. Its work focuses on empowering communities of color and low-income residents in Massachusetts to counter environmental racism and classism, with the aim of creating healthier, more sustainable neighborhoods and ensuring meaningful participation in environmental decisions. ACE seeks to address root causes of environmental injustice by organizing communities that have historically been left out of decision-making processes and promoting changes in the rules that shape environmental policy and outcomes. The organization situates itself within the environmental justice field, collaborating with partners and stakeholders to advance inclusive, systemic change. Its activities are anchored in Massachusetts, where ACE serves as a convening and advocacy force to build power and promote the right to a healthy environment for all residents. Recent developments include partnerships with other organizations to broaden community-led efforts in the region.
