Environmental Justice Advisory Boards - A ...

An Environmental Justice Advisory Board (EJAB) is a group that advises government agencies on issues related to environmental justice, ensuring that policies and actions address the needs and concerns of marginalized communities disproportionately affected by environmental harms. These boards play a crucial role in promoting fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people, regardless of race or income, in environmental decision-making processes. The importance of EJABs lies in their ability to bridge the gap between communities and policymakers, advocating for equitable solutions to environmental challenges. The goal of this document is to compare the strengths and weaknesses of different EJAB bylaws to provide informed recommendations for communities to advocate for strong Board structures that have the power to move their vision and needs forward.

Fair Shake Can Help You Plan for the Future.

Most people don’t think of estate planning as a tool that can be used for the environment, but they would be quite wrong. Estate planning is not only a great way to invest or to avoid headaches and hassles for your family after you pass away, but it can be a way to support the things you believe in long after you are gone.
