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: ‘Water, Water Everywhere’: Racial Inequality and Reproductive Justice in Detroit

URL: https://rewire.news/article/2014/07/22/water-water-everywhere-racial-inequality-reproductive-justice-detroit/

Description: This article from Rewire discusses the issues of reproductive and environmental injustice that faced many women, particularly women of color, during the 2013 water shut-offs in Detroit, MI. The article has examples of women who were adversely impacted by the shut-offs, and explains that many citizens in Detroit who could not afford to pay for their water were met with cruelty and shame rather than compassion. In addition, the harmful impacts of the shut-offs also caused women in Detroit to suffer from reproductive health-related complications.
