The Mendocino Environmental Center (MEC) works through educational outreach, nonviolent direct action and the legal system to uphold and promote environmental and social justice in Mendocino County and beyond. The MEC is a resource center, which offers support to grass roots community groups and empowers individuals to work for positive change. The MEC networks with a politically and socially diverse community, encouraging integrity, tolerance, non violence and a sustainable future.

The Mendocino Environmental Center (MEC) has a commitment to social justice and environmental issues through nonviolent grassroots action, education, lawsuits, mutual empowerment, and community organizing.
The MEC has a fifteen-year history of working for environmental and social justice issues. Beginning with the Save Trout Creek Campaign we have given support, organization, office space, computers, insurance, a photocopier, fax, e-mail, message phone and a mailing address for many local and regional activists, campaigns, and issues. The Center works to maintain a close rapport with local watershed and direct action groups concerned with forest issues.
