About the Environmental Justice Project
Environmental protection begins by ending environmental policies and practices that burden America's most vulnerable communities. Low-income communities and people of color are disproportionately burdened by environmental pollution and the myriad of health problems associated with poor air and water quality and toxic exposure. The environmental justice movement recognizes that America's environmental laws and policies should protect all communities regardless of race, color, national origin or income level. Established in 1991, the Environmental Justice Project works with the private bar to represent and advocate on behalf of communities of color challenging environmentally discriminatory conditions and decisions.
