![]() THIS IS THE EVENT OF THE DECADE!The First National People of Color Environmental leadership Summit was convened by the United Church of Christ’s Commission on Racial Justice and held in Washington D.C. in 1991. The Summit galvanized awareness of environmental justice issues and lead to the establishment of the "Principles of Environmental Justice". These principles have strengthened cross-racial and cross-sector alliances. Participants of the First Summit have expressed the need for a second summit to energize the environmental justice movement, to recognize the significant strides achieved to date, to share information on emerging issues and to galvanize support. The Summit will also provide the perfect opportunity to update the year 2000 version of The People of Color Environmental Groups Directory, currently the only resource guide of its type in the country. The current edition of the directory lists more than 400 people-of-color groups from 45 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, up from 200 groups in 1992. Created as a standard reference guide, the directory is designed to help environmental justice organizations network with one another, as well as aid public and private decisionmakers reach community constituents and stakeholder groups. The directory is free. Find out how to obtain it for yourself here. If you care about:
