Environmental Justice (EJ) is a movement that traces its roots to the work of low-income activists of color whose quality of life was deeply impacted by environmental degradation and toxic waste. EJ activism operates at the intersection of environmentalism and social justice, and works to ensure that our actions protect both the environment and the lives of the people who live there.
