In NYC, there is a nonprofit organization called NYC Environmental Justice Alliance. Their job is to work with other organizations in NYC to improve environmental conditions and attack environmental burdens. These goals are to help minorities in equal living conditions. A number of projects that try to do in NYC is the Waterfront Justice Program, Solid Waste Management Plan, developing brownfield areas, and making the city more environmental friendly with various promotion (Climate March) and brining green jobs to the city. All of these things are very important to NYC. Since the city is one of the largest of the world, there are a lot of minorities in the city. Giving equality to those people will follow the city to move forward and be a better place.
Yes! WeAct is another NYC EJ group, discussed in the Manhattan chapter from Bullard. You can follow them on Twitter.
