Living with More Pollution: Why Race and Place Still Matter Healthy people and healthy places are highly correlated. The poorest of the poor within the U.S. have the worst health and live in the most degraded environments. Race also maps closely with pollution, unequal protection, and vulnerability. Zip code is a potent predictor of health.

Earth Day 2012: Still Desperately Seeking Environmental Justice The world is different this Earth Day than it was three decades ago when the Environmental Justice Movement was born. However, constrained funding has made it difficult for building organizational infrastructure, community organizing, leadership development and participating effectively in the policy arena. Clearly, much more is needed to ensure that all Americans enjoy healthy, livable and sustainable communities.

Black History Month: Wrong Complexion for Protection When Disasters Strike The new book, "Wrong Complexion for Protection: How the Government Response to Disaster Endangers African Americans," places the government response to natural and man-made disasters in historical context over the past eight decades, from the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 to the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. Making disaster response equitable is a human rights issue.

Why HBCUs Need to Step Up on Climate Change Climate change is not only an environmental issue--it is also an issue of health, social justice, and human rights. Climate change amplifies existing inequalities, especially inequality that has left African Americans, Africa, and the African diaspora behind.

Moving Beyond Energy and Transportation Apartheid Through Climate Justice Much attention in recent years has been devoted to green energy and reducing the human carbon footprint to counter the global warming and climate change. The two largest sources--electric power generations and transportation--account for nearly three-fourths (73.8 percent) of the CO2 emissions in the United States annually. Getting greenhouse gases and co-pollutants under control will benefit overburdened communities.
