CHEJ has written these 150 easy to read publications on issues that people care about. They are designed for the non-expert, and share stories from other grassroots groups throughout the movement. We produce two types of publications: fact packs and guidebooks. Fact packs are typically a compilation of writings from others in the field on one subject, news articles, and other documents, whereas guidebooks are guides written by CHEJ staff, based on our organization’s experiences with these issues. You will also find in this list available films and power point presentations.
