Student Environmental Action Coalition

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Student Environmental Action Coalition or SEAC (pronounced "seek"), is a student and youth run national network of progressive organizations and individuals based in the United States.

It has the aim of uprooting environmental injustices through action and education. It defines the environment to include the physical, economic, political and cultural conditions in which we live. By challenging the power structure which threatens these environmental conditions, SEAC works to create progressive social change on both the local and global levels.

SEAC was started in 1988 by students at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.

It differs from other student environmental organizations by its expansive definition of the environment which includes racism, sexism, militarism, heterosexism, economic justice, and animal rights.
