July 2019

The Environmental Law Institute (ELI) celebrates its 50th anniversary this year! In honor of this milestone, ELI is dedicating additional programming each month to a different aspect of our mission. In July, we have been reflecting specifically on how environmental justice informs our work as an organization. ELI’s Taylor Lilley and Lovinia Reynolds have authored a blog on environmental justice along the Gulf Coast, where challenges like flooding, land loss, or the destruction of an oil spill hit some communities harder than others. Taylor and Lovinia also reflect on the Gulf Team’s ongoing process of learning how best to support and amplify the work of local environmental justice leaders.
