EJII Mind Map
The Wisconsin Environmental Justice and Infrastructure Initiative (EJII) The Wisconsin EJII is a cross-disciplinary group that aims to provide greater access to networks, leadership, and resources that support the mission of equitable infrastructure investment, in a wide range of Environmental Justice situations, involving the rights of individuals, especially Wisconsin Communities of Color.
What for?
All over the United States, communities of color are leading neighborhood-based climate initiatives, advancing strategic actions, and informing policies and practices. However, these community leaders do not always receive the resources, support, or recognition needed to foster transformative impact.
Wisconsin Environmental Justice Infrastructure Initiative is changing the narrative by bringing together diverse grass roots groups, Black and other communities of color, to develop an innovative statewide Environmental Justice Initiative that is community-driven and equity-centered.
