The environmental justice movement is quickly gaining momentum. There is a large list of organizations founded to fight environmental discrimination and racism. Though each caters to its own particular interests, they all combine to fuel a progressive march toward equal environmental/human rights. The movement has united weak minority communities, giving them a platform to convey the truth about environmental racism and its detrimental effects. Events like Hurricane Katrina have helped bring to light issues that these communities face; however, despite the rising awareness of the injustice and increase political pull of activist organizations, there is still many barriers to reform.
