Environmental Justice in the Seattle Area
All communities should have equal access to environmental benefits and share equally in environmental risks. Communities most affected should have a say when it comes to solutions and outcomes.
Locally and globally, poor communities and communities of color suffer
disproportionately from environmental hazards, while receiving limited
access to environmental benefits and little recourse. Leaders in
Seattle’s environmental justice movement will describe local efforts to
balance the situation.
