In Tandem Incorporates a Comprehensive Approach
Addressing Public Health and Safety Concerns
High community gun violence rates often intersect with issues of environmental injustice, creating a complex web of challenges for marginalized communities. In areas characterized by environmental injustice, where residents face disproportionate exposure to pollution, lack of resources, and limited economic opportunities, the impact goes beyond environmental concerns. The social and economic stressors prevalent in these communities contribute to an environment where gun violence rates tend to be elevated. The intersectionality of environmental injustice and community gun violence underscores the need for comprehensive, community-driven solutions that address the root causes of both issues, recognizing the interconnected nature of social, economic, and environmental disparities.
