The result of the move request was: moved. There is strong consensus for "Environmental racism in the United States" and this is based in WP:TITLEFORMAT. As for replacing "racism" with "justice", that is a scope change. There is support for that too, but it falls short of consensus and the discussion is not focused. So IMO best course is to complete this RM and then start a new, focused, discussion for the scope change. ( non-admin closure) VR talk 13:41, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

I'm so glad we have this article on Wiki. I propose renaming it to "Environmental Justice in the United States," and expanding the scope of the article to include recent movements in activism, legislation, etc. I would also want to add a section specifically related to Native American struggle with EJ, and expanding on that, in the future we could also work in many sections on other affected groups. We can also add a bunch of hyperlinks to other Wiki articles, including the general Environmental Justice article (which is currently a mess). Grace.jana07 ( talk) 23:30, 17 November 2021 (UTC)grace.jana07
This article also states that Robert Bullard (a preeminent scholar in this field) has said that getting caught up in the term 'racism' is counterproductive. So if we're using reliable sources to support article titles, these sources would suggest 'Environmental justice in the United States'Initially 'environmental justice' was referred to almost exclusively as 'environmental racism' because of the disproportionate impact on people of color; however, it is now clear that environmental health risks are foisted predominately on lower income groups of all racial and ethnic groups. In order to be inclusive, as well as to avoid the extra baggage that comes with calling an act 'racist', practitioners almost exclusively use the term 'environmental justice' rather than 'environmental racism'.

Hello, I'm considering making some new updates. I see that there is some current work being done to add Native American justice issues, which is great (and something I planned on doing earlier, but didn't have the time to). I'd like to add some sections on environmental racism in different US states and a section on farmworker justice. Here are some possible references:

This page is a good basis, but as I look at it, some key missing areas that should be added:
1. Farmworker Justice needs to be discussed in the historical and contemporary sections. Many scholars point to Cesar Chavez’s work with the National Farmworkers association as either preceding, or occurring alongside, the Warren County Protests.
2. Native American EJ issues. Right now there is only information about “tribal outreach” from the u.s. government, which many Indigenous Environmental Advocates would argue is The body most responsible for environmental racism against native peoples. The main Environmental Racism page has a decent overview of such issues. Should be represented here as well.
I just wanted to provide some avenues for expansion if someone is so inclined. I currently don’t have time to do this, but might at some point in the future. Hobomok ( talk) 16:56, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
Hey there! I'm glad you made the suggestion to include more Native American EJ issues -- that's exactly what I've been working on, and I'll be moving my sandbox drafting for such information very shortly. Please keep an eye out and let me know if/how my contributions can be improved, once they're made. Grace.jana07 ( talk) 20:33, 10 December 2021 (UTC)grace.jana07
I really enjoyed how clear this article was. The moment I started reading, I had a clear understanding of what exactly environmental racism was and some of the ways it manifests itself. Later in the lead, you state some statistics regarding the intersection between racism and environmental issues and this conveys this abstract topic better. I think if that section was more organized, it would contribute to a more cohesive lead section. Additionally, your article relies on several case studies of instances of environmental racism around the world therefore adding links would result in further reading for people. This would allow people to better educate them on the specifics of each instance you mentioned. I think an addition of the ongoing efforts to combat environmental racism would very important to show has this issue is ongoing.
