Who Bears the Cost?
Achieving progress towards environmental justice - healthy, thriving environments for all - relies on broad-based action and policy change. Communities like North Denver and Commerce City have led the fight for these changes, calling attention to the disproportionate burden of environmental pollution and health impacts that their communities have faced for decades and urging action to hold polluters accountable. This report presents information gathered by the Gratitude Project, a collaboration between the Dickinson Lab at the Colorado School of Public Health, GreenLatinos, the Wylie Lab at Northeastern University, and GreenRoots Chelsea.
The GreenLatinos Colorado state team has worked on several important legislative campaigns. Their victories were emphasized this year when 9/10 bills they supported passed through the Colorado state legislature. Here are the team members: Ean Thomas Tafoya is an active member in the Denver Public Affairs, Colorado Public Policy, and Federal Environmental Policy communities.

Lograr avances hacia la justicia medioambiental (entornos sanos y prósperos para todos) depende de medidas amplias y un cambio normativo. Comunidades como North Denver y Commerce City han encabezado la lucha por estos cambios, al centrar la atención en la carga desproporcionada de contaminación del medio ambiente y efectos en la salud que sus comunidades han afrontado durante décadas e instar a tomar medidas para responsabilizar a quienes contaminan. Este informe presenta información que reunió Gratitude Project, una colaboración entre Dickinson Lab en Colorado School of Public Health, GreenLatinos, Wylie Lab en la Universidad Northeastern y GreenRoots Chelsea.
