In the United States, inadequate access to resources is correlated to demographics of diversity, including race, gender, ability, age, and culture (Sierra Club Lone Star Chapter). These members galvanize public support for systemic environmental policy change (on the local, state, and federal levels) that impact the health and safety of Texas communities. Their work organizes, educates, and/or lobbies for inclusive environmental justice. They empower all people to advocate and take action towards a green future. As environmental issues continue to impact Texas communities, advocacy and environmental justice are more important than ever. EarthShare Texas partners with member organizations that fight for cleaner air, safer communities, and a healthier planet for all. Let’s explore the impact of six key EarthShare Texas members that are driving meaningful change across the state.

What Is Advocacy and Environmental Justice?

Advocacy and environmental justice are at the heart of protecting both our planet and the people who live on it. Advocacy refers to the efforts made to influence public policy, legal systems, and societal attitudes to support the environment. Environmental justice focuses on ensuring that all communities, especially those most vulnerable, have equal access to clean air, water, and land, and are not disproportionately impacted by environmental hazards.

In Texas, many communities face threats from pollution, climate change, and poor access to natural resources. EarthShare Texas partners with leading advocacy organizations to ensure environmental justice for everyone, regardless of race, income, or geographic location.

Why Support Environmental Advocacy and Justice in Texas?

Advocacy is crucial to environmental justice, especially in a state as diverse and ecologically rich as Texas. From climate action to sustainable food systems, our member organizations lead campaigns that protect both people and the planet.
