Today marks 50 years of Earth Day. As we experience a global pandemic, we acknowledging the importance of continuing our advocacy and our work. Not just today but everyday because those who are affected the most by COVID-19 are also the ones that have been disproportionally affected by pollution, environmental racism, poverty, lack of food security and so forth which has resulted in chronic illness, heart disease, cancer, pulmonary disease and so forth. Corona Virus is an env...ironmental justice crisis. "[Communities of color] are on the front line of impacts from climate change, living in places where there could be more floods and a higher incidence of different [climate-related] diseases, said Dr. Beverly Wright, a sociologist and CEO of the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice (DSCEJ) at Dillard University. For poor communities, there’s also not having access to health insurance or medical services. Communities of color are disproportionately affected by all of these things." https://www.colorlines.com//earth-day-deadly-impact-climat
