The National Black Environmental Justice Network (NBEJN) was founded in 1999 to address environmental and health disparities in Black American communities. Formed by Black activists from across the U.S., the NBEJN created a national action plan to combat these issues. Relaunched in 2020, following the murder of George Floyd, NBEJN provides a dedicated space for Black Environmental Justice leaders, organizations, and communities. Focused on youth engagement, raising awareness of pollution’s health impacts, and challenging discriminatory environmental policies, NBEJN continues to grow as a vital network addressing environmental, racial, and economic justice for Black communities globally.
