Fighters for justice
* From People of Color
Environmental Groups
In urban ghettos and on Indian reservations, grass-roots groups have sprung up in the last decade to fight hazardous-waste dumps, differential enforcement of public health laws and other instances of environmental discrimination. Thanks to a Charles Stewart Mott Foundation grant, the second edition of People of Color Environmental Groups, 1994-95 Directory, lists more than 300 of these groups from 40 states, Canada and Mexico. The 194-page directory, greatly expanded from 1992, also includes an introduction to the environmental justice movement, the text of an Executive Order President Clinton signed to limit discriminatory federal practices, and first-person accounts of the founding and operation of eight grass-roots groups. The directory, edited by Robert D. Bullard, is free from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, 1200 Mott Foundation Building, Flint, MI 48502-1851 (810/766-1766).
