SLC Air Protectors core principles are:
Environmental protection • Taking action and leading by example • Solution-focused • Cooperation and inclusion.

The Protectors Action Network is a member-directed, decentralized system that enables resilient communities to better protect themselves from risks to the environment and vulnerable members of society. It depends on feedback to evolve to fit the needs of each locality. Our network is operated on the principles of Native leadership and is connected by the common thread of the Air Protectors Pledge.

The Air Protector Pledge:

I pledge to Protect the Air and the Natural Environment by promoting and/or participating in all the official actions of the SLC Air Protectors that align with my personal standards.

I pledge to Lead by Example in my personal and public life and to do what is in my power to reduce pollution and make a Positive Impact.

I pledge to be Solution-Focused and cooperate with like-minded members of the community for the greater good regardless of culture, race, religion, gender orientation, or political affiliation.
