Selected Publications
For the 13 years from 1990 to 2003, CRPE published the Race,
Poverty & the
Environment journal with the Urban Habitat Program. This groundbreaking
journal was for many years the only national publication focused
on environmental justice. It has treated such disparate topics
as pesticides, energy, food security, the law, the border, and
immigration. RPE is still published by Urban Habitat, and back
issues are available on Urban
Habitat’s website.

CRPE staff have also published training manuals and theoretical
articles on environmental justice topics, for activists, lawyers
and for the general public. Some of these publications include
the following;
CRPE makes its resources available for free to client and ally groups. To get access to the full range of resources from CRPE, please contact CRPE for the password to this section.
