EJ @ Stanford Highlights
Click on the images to check them out!
Environmental Justice (EJ)  advances a positive vision for actions and policies that fight environmental racism.

This work requires us to center the voices and leadership of marginalized
communities in
 1) the fight for equitable access to environmental benefits, and 
2) the prevention and mitigation of the disproportionate impacts of environmental harms
for all individuals and communities, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, religion, nationality, age, ability, and income/wealth.

​Furthermore, we fight for EJ across a broad range of social and physical environments, including the places where we live, work, play, eat, worship, and learn.
There are four key component to the Stanford Environmental Justice Working Group's working definition of Environmental Justice (EJ)

Why EJ @ Stanford?
Part of this work involves diversifying our faculty, establishing community research partnerships, and learning from the perspectives of marginalized communities. 
​
EJ approaches are important for building trust with large segments of society that are currently excluded from most environmental decision-making and academic knowledge production. ​
