Environmental Justice Advisory Boards - A ...

An Environmental Justice Advisory Board (EJAB) is a group that advises government agencies on issues related to environmental justice, ensuring that policies and actions address the needs and concerns of marginalized communities disproportionately affected by environmental harms. These boards play a crucial role in promoting fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people, regardless of race or income, in environmental decision-making processes. The importance of EJABs lies in their ability to bridge the gap between communities and policymakers, advocating for equitable solutions to environmental challenges. The goal of this document is to compare the strengths and weaknesses of different EJAB bylaws to provide informed recommendations for communities to advocate for strong Board structures that have the power to move their vision and needs forward.

During this crisis people have been spending more and more time in nature, that’s great! We hope that folks are building new bonds with nature and, hopefully, inspiring new vigilance towards protecting it. At Fair Shake we are lucky to work with so many groups doing the hard work to lay the dirt paths that we are all enjoying. So we want to dedicate some love to them. In this blog post we’ll tell you about the “trials” behind the trails you love!
