Housing, Environmental Justice, and the Case of the Stop Cop City Movement: A Structural Intersectional Approach to Housing Equity

A fundamental cause underpinning housing, environmental injustices, and health disparities is structural racism. Structural racism drives racialized health inequities. This process is partialy facilitaed by previous policies and legacy institutions, adapting over time to reproduce disparate housing conditions (e.g., social, economic, and environmental), a lack of safety (e.g., policing an dsurveillance), security , and belonging withint one's own community, especially for racially minoritized groups.
