However, these communities are not just passively experiencing environmental injustice; many frontline communities are actively fighting against the oppressive systems that create these environmental and health disparities. While organizing for the health and wellbeing of their communities, frontline community-based organizations can find themselves at odds with the priorities of mainstream environmental actors, causing historic marginalization of environmental justice activism within the environmental movement at large. This lecture will explore the importance of centering frontline voices within the U.S. environmental sector, discuss the possibilities for large environmental NGOs to support frontline communities as allies, and provide key takeaways for environmental professionals to incorporate principles of environmental justice into their work.
