Equitable Cities Reporting Hub for Environmental Justice

An initiative led by Next City in partnership with our friends at Grist, our Equitable Cities Reporting Hub for Environmental Justice brings solutions-oriented environmental justice stories to local, national and global audiences. Collaboration creates better stories, and cross-publishing expands journalism's collective reach. Our local partners include Planet Detroit, which is looking into Black Detroiters' access to nature; the California Health Report, whose reporters are examining the public health impacts of the West Coast wildfires; and YR Media, which is profiling young leaders in environmental justice.
