Description
Environmental racism is the root cause of suffering where city planners design low income neighborhoods to be toxic dumping grounds where low income and BIPOC people live with polluted air and soil.
Poverty and discrimination can be overturned by collectively owned farms that supply healthy food to help our bodies detoxify.
Community control of neighborhoods leads to more equity and justice.
