The Quest for Environmental Justice

The new book The Quest for Environmental Justice captures the voices of frontline warriors who are battling environmental injustice and human rights abuses at the grassroots level around the world and challenging government and industry policies and globalization trends that place people of color and the poor at special risk. The Center contributed the chapter “Anatomy of the Urban Park Movement: Equal Justice, Democracy and Livability in Los Angeles” in the book edited by Dr. Robert Bullard. The chapter analyzes our efforts to diversify democracy from the ground up through parks, schools, healthy communities, transit, and sustainable regional planning.
