The East Phillips Neighborhood Institute (EPNI) is a social movement that was established to identify and highlight pollutant concerns and the risks of proposed construction projects within the East Phillips neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The movement was founded in 2014, initially, to address relocation efforts of two factories within the neighborhood that were considered sources of pollution. Upon learning that the city intended to purchase a different site within East Phillips to construct a public works truck facility, EPNI refocused their efforts to stop the construction from occurring.

Activists representing the neighborhood have argued that construction would result in significant arsenic exposure to its residents, who already experience elevated levels of asthma and heart conditions. With the demographic of its residents belonging mostly to minority groups, activists have used the proposed project as evidence of the city implementing environmental racism. The city, however, disagrees with EPNI's findings and states that the project would be developed in a safe manner.
