I hope to be involved in projects that aim to gather scientific evidence to inform environmental decision making and advocate for greater equity and justice in environmental governance. Through this work, I hope to learn the skills needed to engage in community based research and leverage community knowledge as expert knowledge. In my department, things are often siloed and issues are only seen through one perspective. I really want to gain more experience in collaborating with a wide array of stakeholders to come up with approaches to mitigate the environmental injustices experienced in under-resourced communities.

The main point of the article was to show the "indirect" racism towards black families financially. It was supported through the use of many statistics and showing that black families are the ones who struggle the most.

1. Children are suffering a lot more than expected. Living in poverty affected the way they learned, grow, interact and more all in a negative way.

3. It is mainly the colored people who suffer most from the poverty crisis.

To control this is to create more job oppurtunities for black and low-income families. 

The author used the census to accurately make the statistics needed to back up the main argument.

The article addresses the public health by showing that people can not afford daily necessities such as hosptial bills and things of that nature.
