The Guardian and Nexus Media today launched America’s Dirty Divide, a year-long series focused on environmental inequality and racism in the US. In the coming days the series will feature explainers on how a warming planet puts children of color at risk, a story that examines the lack of diversity within environmental justice groups in Jacksonville, Florida, and more. Open Society Foundations is proud to support The Guardian’s Dirty Divide series to ensure that the connections between systemic racism, environmental inequality, and community activism are made in the public square.”America’s Dirty Divide will cover themes including pollution and waste, heat and climate. Dr. Robert Bullard, an environmental justice pioneer, is serving as an editorial advisor on the project. Guardian News & Media (GNM), publisher of theguardian.com, is one of the largest English-speaking newspaper websites in the world.
