Students Join the Fight: Who is C4?

The Campus Coalition Concerning Chester (C4) is a student-chapter organization dedicated to building alliances between local colleges and CRCQL. Through these relationships, C4 hope to collectively spearhead and support initiatives that promote environmental justice in Pennsylvania and beyond. We hope to interrogate our own college communities’ complicities and roles in this injustice and implement institutional-level solutions for equitable waste management.

C4 was formed in 1996 by 15 Mid-Atlantic region colleges after a Weekend Retreat on Environmental Justice at Swarthmore College. C4 was then revitalized in 2020 at Swarthmore College and has been going strong ever since.
