On November 28, CFHJ previewed a new project with partner Photovoice WorldWide (PVWW). PVWW is a global social enterprise dedicated to sharing the power of the art of photo-voice for social good. Learn more about photovoice and PVWW on our blog. 

In our partnership, Communicate For Health Justice LLC™ and Photovoice Worldwide will highlight examples of one of the most pressing social justice and health issues, #environmentalracism.

Environmental racism refers to the disproportionate burden of environmental risks and disasters placed on Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities. Environmental injustice occurs in various ways - from higher exposure levels of pollution and toxins, habitat destruction, lower quality of natural resources and environmental amenities, or exploitative dumping.

We're asking our social media followers to share photovoice examples of environmental racism from their own communities. This project is ongoing through 2023. 

Thank you to the Institute for Social Work and Ecological Justice for spotlighting this project!
