More Stories On:

The 2000 People of Color Environmental Groups Directory is an expansion and update of the 1992 edition that cataloged 205 people of color environmental groups. This edition lists more than 400 people-of-color groups from 45 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Because of the international nature of environmental justice work, 49 groups in Canada and 24 groups in Mexico also are included in this edition. The resource section of the directory profiles environmental, civil rights, and legal groups that are working on environmental and economic justice issues. Organizations listed provide a wide range of technical, research, legal, education, and training support to grassroots groups.
