Name
Environmental Justice: Leaders through Community
Description
The Center for Environmental Justice at Smithsonian’s Anacostia Community Museum is excited to present the Environmental Justice Academy (EJA). This program works to champion communities of color as the primary driving force in creating leaders for tomorrow, growing community change, and utilizing community organizations to tell the history and write the future of the environmental justice movement. The EJA program which currently serves participants in the Anacostia watershed, is a compelling case study for highlighting national environmental justice issues on a local scale.
