About me: The Environmental Justice Committee (EJC) of the National Lawyer's Guild (NLG) is a network of attorneys, law students, legal workers, and activists dedicated to providing assistance to impoverished communities and communities of color which are exposed to the disproportionate impacts of environmental hazards while at the same time denied access to environmental benefits.
The EJC recognizes the general failure of mainstream environmental law and policy bodies in meaningfully addressing the unique environmental and legal challenges facing many impoverished communities and communities of color. Such community challenges often include disproportionate exposure to facilities which pose significant public health and safety risks and continued siting of hazardous facilities in such communities. The EJC is committed to challenging the inadequate responses of governmental bodies and mainstream environmental organizations in addressing existing environmental, public health and safety concerns in environmental justice communities, including lax responses to the cleanup of hazardous military, industrial, and natural disaster sites.
The EJC also focuses on the interplay between infringement on civil liberties and environmentalism, including governmental attacks on the rights of environmental and animal rights activists.
Members of the EJC are currently engaged in structuring several projects to connect law students, legal workers, and attorneys in directly assisting environmental justice communities with legal representation, lobbying, research, organizing, education and direct community action.
Membership is open to all members of the NLG community. There will be no arbitrary exclusion from membership on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, gender presentation or identity, sexual orientation, disability or age.

I have Backers muscular dystrophy do not know how long I have to live I'm trying to get million friends for Disabled Civil Rights cause goal and short video in the e-mail please forward Added me to your top friends please to have the Supreme Court Olmstead decision 6 to 3 Law enforced and have community-based programs for all who qualify for med waiver and consumer directed care which will save the taxpayers approximately 50% and provide opportunities for jobs instead of having disabled institutionalized in a nursing home. Also the George W. Bush presidential Executive Order 13217.Which means it has been designated a nationwide problem! To be Moses for all disabled people to remove the yoke the burden on our disabled back and set disabled people free.
Personally, I hate parking lots --- but we have so many of them! Sitting there, doing nothing but heating up the atmosphere, so solar parking lots! Community-sustained, secure, renewable electricity! Bonus = community jobs! All over America! So I’m back at university learning GIS to analyze each town’s paved parking areas (Greensboro NC (pop 247,000) has 10.27 square miles of it that will power over 500,000 homes (every year) if covered with photovoltaics!) and I’m starting put_a_lid_on_it …………..……….
