Mothers & Others For Clean Air deeply believes that access to clean air is an inherent human right. We acknowledge that communities of color often suffer from an unequal burden of toxic pollution. We are committed to confronting the systemic environmental racism which creates health disparities in Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) communities in the Southeast. Currently, Black community members across the country are protesting for their rights while BIPOC communities are suffering from COVID-19 at a disproportionate rate.
During this moment in history, Mothers & Others For Clean Air offers the following resources to advance education and dialogue about environmental racism within our southeastern communities.
For each state, the blog series looks at the legacy of toxic pollution upon BIPOC communities and highlight the vital work of BIPOC Scientists, Academics, Community Leaders, Advocates, Lawyers, and Researchers.
There are links in each blog to support their work!
