Abstract

This Paper argues that to protect at-risk communities - and all Americans - from the deadly effects of environmental racism, Congress must pass the Environmental Justice for All Act. The Act is intended to "restore, reaffirm, and reconcile environmental justice and civil rights." It does so by restoring an individual's right to sue in federal court for discrimination based on race, ethnicity, or national origin regardless of intent under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, strengthening the National Environmental Policy Act, and providing economic incentives focused on environmental justice.

与癌症巷的环境种族主义作斗争：立法方法。

本文认为，为了保护高危社区和所有美国人免受环境种族主义的致命影响，国会必须通过《人人享有环境正义法案》。该法案旨在 "恢复、重申和协调环境正义与公民权利"。为此，该法案恢复了个人根据 1964 年《民权法案》就基于种族、族裔或民族血统的歧视向联邦法院提起诉讼的权利（无论其意图如何），加强了《国家环境政策法案》，并提供了以环境正义为重点的经济激励措施。
