In “The Bioethics of Environmental Injustice: Ethical, Legal, and Clinical Implications of Unhealthy Environments,” Ray and Cooper (2024) initiate needed discourse on environmental justice and the expectation that a safe, healthy environment is a human right. They also note the disproportionate impact of environmental hazards on historically disenfranchized communities. This topic is worthy of consideration, as racism, whether by passive neglect or intentional act, perpetuates environmental sabotage among people of color. Realizing environmental justice hinges on the intentional pursuit of procedural, geographic, and societal equity (Bullard 2004). Adherents to these tenets advocate for legal protection from environmental harm, equal distribution of the burdens of these harms by locality, and the assurance that burdens are shared regardless of race, socioeconomic status, and other societal characteristics. Concerned community members often advocate for movement toward these aims and, as Ray and Cooper (2024) demonstrate, hard-fought victories began with grassroots inertia. Community action is central to advancing environmental justice, and empowering communities is key to ensuring it occurs. Bioethicists have a unique opportunity to contribute to this effort by honoring and centering the work of community-based environmental justice advocates often overlooked in the bioethics zeitgeist.
