Among the pieces shown at his first solo exhibition in 1950 was the canvas entitled Chief that indubitably referred his childhood, maybe the locomotive with the same name, her power, sound and steaming engine he remembered, or, as some also believed, that the artists fascination with dark color was the result of his growing up in the mining community.

While the optical power in her work, her wild imagery and color, even helped free artists who were her elders — able painters like von Heyl, Humphries, Amy Sillman, and many others — Schutz was cast as a «market artist,» somehow not part of the art community.

Not only do these photographs «make us aware of the role and power of community,» he writes that they also «illuminate the transitions, displacements and complexity of urban life as well as the conventions or biases that color our understanding of it.»

GRID Alternatives is a national leader in helping low - income communities and communities of color nationwide get clean, affordable solar power and solar jobs, and our energy access work is lighting up off - grid communities across the globe.

The report is a joint production of NAACP, Little Village Environmental Justice Organization (LVEJO), the Indigenous Environmental Network and lead author and researcher Adrian Wilson, and will serve as a launching point for NAACP's campaign to address the issue of the pollution from coal fired power plants and disparate impacts on communities of color.

The Coal Blooded Action Toolkit is a step - by - step guide on how - to take action to address toxins from coal fired power plants that are polluting low - income communities and communities of color.

At NYLPI, Eddie organized numerous grassroots coalitions and campaigns, including the Organization of Waterfront Neighborhoods (OWN) and Communities United for Responsible Energy (CURE), two citywide coalitions of community - based organizations which blocked the siting of mega-waste transfer stations, large power plants, incinerators and sludge plants in environmentally - burdened, low income communities of color, while changing City and State solid waste and energy policies.

But, expanding California's cap - and - trade program to enable polluters to buy REDD credits also harms Californians — overwhelmingly low - income communities and communities of color — those who live near the refineries, power plants, oil and gas extraction sites and other high - emission industries that are the main cause of local and global climate disruption

«The «Just Solar Garden» at Shiloh Temple underscores the need for solar energy equality and equal - employment opportunities in communities of color, like the North Side of Minneapolis,» said Julia Nerbonne, executive director of Minnesota Interfaith Power & Light (MNIPL).

We believe this transition can improve the quality of life for low - income communities and people of color who suffer disproportionately from exposure to pollutants from gas - fired power plants, petroleum refineries, and congested freeways.

Frontline communities — those of lower income and those of color — get it the worst, as they're most likely to be near a power plant or a highway.

One of the most important things NPA found is that the fossil fuel industry has inserted prominent talking points into their messaging about the impact of the Clean Power Plan on people of color and low - to moderate - income people, while advocates of the plan tend to talk about the benefits in broad terms, rarely referencing race or communities of color.
