ACS is elevating its understanding and involvement with the environmental justice community. All educators, researchers, industrial representatives, non-ACS members, public health professionals, community organizers and groups are invited to participate in an open forum to discuss how chemists and chemical engineers should build on and expand our engagement with community groups directly involved in or impacted by environmental justice issues. Environmental justice is critical to the chemistry enterprise because it provides a framework to solve these global environmental and human health impacts that continue to disproportionately burden communities of color, vulnerable and low-income populations.
