They might think of melting glaciers or the destruction of forests, or perhaps of birds slicked with oil or whales with stomachs full of plastic. In short, they think of the destruction of nature. On the other hand, when people think of the Civil Rights Movement and #BlackLivesMatter, they're likely to think of the violence committed against people of color—from segregation to lynching to police brutality. At a glance, these two movements are utterly separate from each other. However, there is another facet of these issues that is rarely included in the mainstream perception of environmentalism and racism: the way environmental issues affect communities of color or of poverty more than they affect more privileged communities. This intersection of those two movements is where the environmental justice movement exists. The formation of the environmental justice movement demonstrates the connections between all social movements and the necessity of intersectional collaboration.

Thesis: The formation of the environmental justice movement demonstrates the connections between all social movements and the necessity of intersectional collaboration.

~~Question: can my intro be divided into two paragraphs? I feel like organizationally it would make more sense if I had the first paragraph be the one included above, and then~~ ~~had a second paragraph explaining what exactly environmental justice/environmental racism is. That second paragraph would be concluded by my thesis.~~

Alternately I could Just have the second paragraph as my intro and have the "when people think of.." be part of each of their respective body paragraphs but I feel like that's too abrupt an entrance into my essay and leaves too much of my point on ntersectionality out]]> 2018-05-17 15:03:03 UTC https://padlet.com/rsontheimer20201_1/60f7l4178c9b/wish/261618867 Body Paragraph rsontheimer20201_1 https://padlet.com/rsontheimer20201_1/60f7l4178c9b/wish/261619018 Topic Sentence: From the beginning, the environmental movement in America never did a very good job of including marginalized groups in its ranks, or indeed considering their experiences at all.

Context: In 1962, Rachel Carson published Silent Spring, a book about the affect of pesticides on human, animal, and plant life. The publication of this book galvanized vast numbers of the middle class into awareness and action in support of environmentalism. Its publication "was an important factor leading to the formation of the Environmental Defense Fund in 1967 and ultimately to the creation of the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1970" (Research Starter, Environmentalism).

Evidence: Silent Spring—widely considered to be one of the biggest sparks of mainstream environmental awareness—only really talks about the effects of environmental issues (in this case, the use of pesticides) in the context of the white working class of America.
"During the 1960s, most Americans involved in environmental activities were white and members of the upper or middle classes."
Environmental movement was focused mainly on conservation and preservation and focused less on people. When it did talk about people, it mainly focused on the white working class (see above).

Analysis: From its beginning, the environmental movement failed to consider the effects of environmental issues on marginalized groups.

Environmental movement—focused almost completely on preservation, only went mainstream when middle class began to be affected

Silent Spring, Research Starter

Context: At the same time that Silent Spring was published, the Civil Rights Movement was in full swing. In fact, only one year following its publication, MLK gave his famed "I Have a Dream" speech.

Evidence: "Issues such as conservation and preservation of natural resources were of little interest to members of low-income and minority groups, who were often more concerned with civil rights and the improvement of economic conditions" (Research starter)

Analysis: It's easy to understand the viewpoint of these civil rights activists. Nature would seem much less significant than the kinds of violence and inequality they were facing. (transition) However, events through the 70s and 80s began to change the perspective of some minority leaders.

Civil rights movement—viewed environmental issues as less significant than racial issues

Evidence:
- 1983 study in which it was found that 3 out of 4 towns facing environmental hazards had a significant black population
"There are four offsite hazardous waste landfills in Regions IV’s eight States. Blacks make up the majority of the population in three of the four communities where the landfills are located. At least 26 percent of the population in all four communities have income below the poverty level and most of this population is Black."

- Declaration of the Principles of Environmental Justice in 1991
"Environmental Justice affirms the sacredness of Mother Earth, ecological unity and the interdependence of all species, and the right to be free from ecological destruction."

"Environmental Justice demands that public policy be based on mutual respect and justice for all peoples, free from any form of discrimination or bias."

"Environmental Justice considers governmental acts of environmental injustice a violation of international law, the Universal Declaration On Human Rights, and the United Nations Convention on Genocide."

Analysis:
- redefined what it could mean to talk about the environment
- Principles of Working Together: movement based on cooperation
- proves the connection between movements and what can be achieved by working together

First acknowledgement of the connection between the movements—sanitation strike, study done in 1983 of four towns

This is indeed a potential danger. The very facilities that pollute these communities may also worsen economic conditions of people living in poverty, which is hardly an intersectional approach to justice. However, the types of pollution that result from a lack of environmental justice can make people very sick, making it difficult to work and support families in the long run.

- also connects to the fact that communities of color are more likely to be denied jobs and housing, as well as the wage gap between whites and blacks.
- if working to eliminate environmental racism also means eliminating jobs, this could be seen as an opportunity to work with the blm movement and government projects to create jobs in order to bring more opportunities into disadvantaged communities/communities of color
- also connects to access to healthcare
- letting people get sick or even just denying them access to a healthy environment isn't an option, so use the fight for environmental justice as a way to also further the goals of movements like blm
- working together!
- furthermore, working for environmental justice actually can offer job opportunities
- can I find an instance when this really happened?]]> 2018-05-17 15:04:27 UTC https://padlet.com/rsontheimer20201_1/60f7l4178c9b/wish/261619446 Conclusion rsontheimer20201_1 https://padlet.com/rsontheimer20201_1/60f7l4178c9b/wish/261619529 - environmental justice movement through to the present—successes, failures, what's next
- largely ignored by the press
- why this matters

The environmental justice movement is ongoing to this day, and the lessons it has to offer in activism will always be relevant.
- successes: bill clinton's executive order, EPA acknowledging EJ, continued engagement in locally-based organizations across the country, etc.
- failures: too broad, rarely acknowledged by press who favor more sensational stories, not well known
- some people involved in the fight for racial justice don't get involved in , and American environmentalism still sees the environment only "as wilderness, a pristine domain to be protected from human incursion. But, almost by definition, that’s not the environment we actually live in... This is a whole different kind of environment — but one that is no less American, and no less deserving of a movement to protect and transform it."
- shows the need to acknowledge the experiences of all people in any given social movement—all social movements are connected ]]> 2018-05-17 15:04:41 UTC https://padlet.com/rsontheimer20201_1/60f7l4178c9b/wish/261619529 Primary rsontheimer20201_1 https://padlet.com/rsontheimer20201_1/60f7l4178c9b/wish/261623928 People of Color Environmental Justice

EPA and Enforcement of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964:
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act requires that federal agencies and recipients of federal funds may not act in ways that create a discriminatory impact. Since the 2001 Alexander v. SandovalU.S. Supreme Court decision, private individuals and groups may no longer sue recipients of federal funds (like state agencies that give operating permits to polluting industries) for discrimination unless they can prove that the discrimination was intentional -- contrary to what most federal courts have held up to that point. Since that decision, the only recourse is to file a Title VI complaint to EPA's Office of Civil Rights. EPA has a dismal record of responding to these complaints and has only ruled on the merits of two complaints to date. Both of these rulings failed to protect against discrimination and set very negative precedents.

"Environmental Justice considers governmental acts of environmental injustice a violation of international law, the Universal Declaration On Human Rights, and the United Nations Convention on Genocide."

Environmental justice: Stop poisoning people, period."

"Environmental racism is the disproportionate impact of environmental hazards on people of color. Environmental justice is the movement's response to environmental racism. 'Environmental equity' is not environmental justice. 'Environmental equity' is the government's response to the demands of the environmental justice movement. Government agencies, like the EPA, have been coopting the movement by redefining environmental justice as 'fair treatment and meaningful involvement,'"

"The most significant problem facing people of color is the institutional and cultural racism which results in discrimination in access to services, goods and opportunities."

"Now all of the issues of environmental racism and environmental justice don't just deal with people of color. We are just as much concerned with inequities in Appalachia, for example, where the whites are basically dumped on because of lack of economic and political clout and lack of having a voice to say "no" and that's environmental injustice.

Issues such as conservation and preservation of natural resources were of little interest to members of low-income and minority groups, who were often more concerned with civil rights and the improvement of economic conditions. In the 1970s and 1980s, however, as concerns mounted about lead poisoning, the dangers of hazardous waste dumps, and the effects of soil and water pollution, minority leaders began to take notice."

"Such successes do not mean that these movements are without their critics, however. Some argue that the concept of environmental justice is so broad and vague that it cannot serve as a guide for policy makers. Moreover, they maintain that the available evidence regarding environmental racism is flawed. They contend that studies have failed to determine whether harmful facilities have been located in already existing minority communities or the communities coalesced around the facilities."

"Activists also complain that the national news media consistently ignore environmental racism, favoring instead sensational stories that do not examine the deeper institutional causes of the environmental disasters featured in the headlines. Finally, proponents also fault the mainstream environmental movement for its fixation on preservation issues."

"The issue of environmental justice has garnered support because the stated goals of advocates—a clean environment for all and an end to racist industrial and government practices—are attractive to many people. Achieving those goals has proven difficult, however. People tend to desire both justice and the manufactured goods that cause environmental degradation. While most people oppose racism, they understandably have no desire to relocate polluting industries into their own neighborhoods. In addition, as the debate about disparate impact indicates, conflicts over environmental racism may have the unintended consequence of denying low-income people jobs that they desire."]]> 2018-05-21 15:29:10 UTC https://padlet.com/rsontheimer20201_1/60f7l4178c9b/wish/262401232 rsontheimer20201_1 https://padlet.com/rsontheimer20201_1/60f7l4178c9b/wish/262404477 "The Principles of Working Together recognize that

trust—it must be genuine and sustained relationshipbuilding.
This demands cultural and language
sensitivity."

"The Principles of Working Together require
affirmation of the value in diversity and the rejection
of any form of racism, discrimination and oppression.
To support each other completely, we must learn
about our different cultural and political histories so
that we can completely support each other in our
movement inclusive of ages, classes, immigrants,
indigenous peoples, undocumented workers, farm

The iconic images of the movement — California’s redwoods, Yosemite’s Half Dome, the arches at Zion — suggest one answer: the environment as wilderness, a pristine domain to be protected from human incursion. But, almost by definition, that’s not the environment we actually live in. The first two weeks of this special series on Poverty & the Environment will focus on the land where we do live — specifically, the land consigned to the poorest among us. This is a land where people live near the freeway or next to a power station or miles from public transit; a land where the neighbors include landfills, oil refineries, nuclear-waste repositories, factory farms. This is a whole different kind of environment — but one that is no less American, and no less deserving of a movement to protect and transform it."]]> 2018-05-24 15:35:46 UTC https://padlet.com/rsontheimer20201_1/60f7l4178c9b/wish/263390809 rsontheimer20201_1 https://padlet.com/rsontheimer20201_1/60f7l4178c9b/wish/263391449 Lee, Mark, and John Elkington. 2006.
