What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

PEER believes that our nation’s public health and environment are best protected by a government workforce that embraces the ideals of transparency, inclusion, and accountability. That is why we vigorously defend environmental whistleblowers in government and partner with current and former government employees who want to make a difference in the world around them. Our work is urgent. Climate change, biodiversity loss, and toxic pollution are all occurring in the context of governments' weakening ability to address these crises. This has been caused in part by a decline in scientific integrity in government, the capture of many government agencies by special interests, and rising distrust in many parts of the country of government programs and agencies.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

We envision a future in which government agencies work to protect the environment, natural
resources, and public health in ways that are transparent, legal, based in sound science,
equitable, and free of undue political influence.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

1. Protect public employees. We use all legal and administrative means and apply public and political pressure to support employees who suffer retaliation or other negative consequences because of their work protecting the environment.
2. Increase government transparency. Maintaining government transparency is essential for environmental protection and to ensure that government serves the public good. PEER works with current and former government employees, usually anonymously, to address issues through official channels and bring hidden information into the light of day.
3. Improve laws and regulations. PEER engages in litigation and advocacy to ensure the enforcement and implementation of environmental laws, the use of sound science in decision-making, and adherence to the rule of law. We work to provide solutions to environmental problems both nationally and locally.
4. Expand collaboration with other groups. Building lasting change requires coalitions working toward common goals. PEER partners with groups on projects and litigation and provides counsel to other nonprofits within our areas of expertise.
5. Elevate lesser heard voices. Finding solutions to environmental problems requires the involvement of marginalized and disempowered communities. PEER works with current and former government employees to elevate the voices of individuals, communities, and local coalitions often unheard.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

→A dedicated legal defense team with deep experience and knowledge of public sector
employment law and environmental litigation.
→ An uncompromising approach to whistleblower defense and environmental litigation.
→ Connections to current and former government employees who help guide our work.
→ A dedicated, compassionate, and professional staff who represent clients zealously
without charge.
→ A deep understanding of complex legal and political systems.
→ A commitment to elevating diverse perspectives and supporting the environmental
justice work of marginalized and historically disempowered communities.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

Today, whistleblowers matter more than ever in efforts to protect public health and the environment. They are also integral in the free flow of information to the public about government goals and operations. That’s why defending public employees who report wrongdoing is the most important thing PEER does. PEER us currently litigating on behalf of employees at the Environmental Protection Agency, the US Geological Survey, and Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment among many others.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Oct 01 - Sep 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

Data

We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.

Policies and processes

We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
