After reading the progression of environmental justice, I am
happy to know that by 2007, the US EPA defined environmental justice by stating
it is the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of
race, color, national origin, or income with respect to develop. Implement, and
enforcement of laws and regulations. This has helped our nation now because the
equal treatment has created a fair space for everyone to feel included in.
As a public health student, it is known that social determinants play a huge part in peoples everyday health. It can effect the economy, living environment, and even every day necessities. How a person feels they are gettig treated can have an effect on how long their life span may be.
This connects into the "Black Lives Matter" movement because it is fighting for violence to stop that are targeted only towards African Americans. Black Lives Matter movement is a deep cry for keeping all black males, females, gay, or trans community members safe and protected.
