The Environmental Justice Small Grants Program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) fosters collaborative and co-operative efforts directed at addressing and/or resolving real life environmental justice issues. EPA has provided 1,010 small grants since July 1994 when the program began. This book describes 60 programs and projects funded under the Small Grants Program from 2000 to 2005 that have made a difference. These success stories demonstrate how diverse communities can come together in different ways to solve local problems. The groups represented in this report encompass the diversity of problems found in neighbourhoods and communities across the country. As with all recipients of the small grants, the projects described here place a premium on community and family health.

To be poor, working-class, or a person of color in the United States often means bearing a disproportionate share of the country’s environmental problems. Starting with the premise that all Americans have a basic right to live in a healthy environment, Dumping in Dixie chronicles the efforts of five African American communities, empowered by the civil rights movement, to link environmentalism with issues of social justice. In the third edition, Bullard speaks to us from the front lines of the environmental justice movement about new developments in environmental racism, different organizing strategies, and success stories in the struggle for environmental equity.
