Environmental Justice

Collected by: Tufts University

Archived since: Jul, 2016

Description:

This collection contains websites, media, blogs, and social media feeds of citizen groups and organizations that deal with environmental justice issues. The collection focuses primarily on the United States, with an emphasis on the Boston area and the Northeast. In addition to sites covering environmental justice issues broadly, the collection contains topical subgroups focused on the City of Boston & Greater Boston; indigenous peoples; housing & urban issues; women; food justice; and water justice. Sites were identified by searching a series of topical keywords; by following related links from websites and Facebook “Liked by” pages; and by students in two Fall 2016 courses researching topics in environmental justice. Sites hosted at other educational institutions or governmental sites that otherwise meet the selection criteria are not included.

Title: Black Mesa Water Coalition

URL: http://www.blackmesawatercoalition.org/

Description: The Black Mesa Water Coalition was started by a group of Navajo and Hopi activists from Black Mesa in response to the Peabody Western Coal Company’s mining operations on Black Mesa. Black Mesa is sacred in Navajo and Hopi traditions, and the communities faced environmental damage, particularly impaired groundwater quality, from the mining operations. The Black Mesa Water Coalition now works to not only bring attention to environmental justice issues against Indigenous people, but also to build community capacity to address climate change, particularly in the arid Southwest, through education and leadership trainings.
