    Environmental Justice communities are diverse collections of perspectives, concerns, and drivers. No two are identical, but there are some common themes that most share. Love of their culture, protection of their communities and children, and concern that our planning systems have not historically taken their views into equal account when making decisions that would affect the community. Community leaders are the EJ experts. Outside expertise can come in to play a role but no one should mistake the fact that the people in these communities know this better than the rest of us.

    This week Chris was joined by Naomi Davis, Founder and CEO of Blacks in Green, and Robert Weinstock, Director of the Environmental Advocacy Center at the Northwestern Pritzker School of Law. Both are at the forefront of critical EJ issues in the city and both were directly involved in the landmark HUD zoning case that everyone heard about a few years ago. They each come from different perspectives but each is a passionate story teller and brilliant mind when it comes to these issues.

    Enjoy!
