Sierra Club – Detroit EJ Project Environmental Justice and Community Partnerships discuss and explore the linkages between environmental quality and social justice, and to promote dialogue, increased understanding and appropriate action. Across the country, from Washington, D.C., to Arizona, we’re supporting communities as they tackle issues from coal companies sapping pristine drinking water to homes being destroyed by mountaintop-removal mining. Sierra Club organizer Rhonda Anderson works with residents and local politicians to fight for the environmental justice rights of communities in Detroit.
The Detroit Food Justice Task Force is a consortium of People of Color led organizations and allies that share a commitment to creating a food security plan for Detroit that is: sustainable; that provides healthy, affordable foods for all of the city’s people; that is based on best-practices and programs that work; and that is just and equitable in the distribution of food and jobs.
