Equitable payments for research participation: A successful case of exceptionalism
Bélisle-Pipon et al. recently reported on challenges they encountered in adopting an equity-based rather than equality-based framework for research participation payments. We encountered a similar need in a project that developed tools and resources to support trustworthy data practices in the field of participatory science. While typical approaches employ a fairness-as-equality model, where all participants receive equal pay for equal work, we d…
Theories of Change: A Framework to Improve Engineering Efforts to Advance Environmental Justice
“Justice 40” Executive Order 14008 is a whole-of-government initiative that commits that at least 40% of overall benefits of the federal climate and infrastructure investments are realized by communities that experience disproportionate environmental burdens.

Governance Structures and the Lack of Basic Amenities: Can Community Engagement Be Effectively Used to Address Environmental Injustice in Underserved Black Communities
Many communities impacted by environmental injustice, including the disproportionate burden of unhealthy land uses and environmental hazards and lack of access to health-promoting infrastructure, can trace these disparities to inequities in planning, zoning, and community development. These inequities and infrastructure disparities occur in many places because of the way that governance structures, particularly municipal police powers, are applie…
Built Environment Issues in Unserved and Underserved African-American Neighborhoods in North Carolina
Urban planning has focused on built environment issues in cities such as urban sprawl, availability of green space, and infrastructure for physical activity. However, in small southern towns, there are built environment issues which currently either are understudied or completely neglected by researchers. In this article, we describe the built environment issues that burden unserved and underserved communities of color in North Carolina. We use a…

The community voices evolved into language to drive WERA's "Right to Basic Amenities Movement" as a way to address health, legal, and quality-of-life disparities. The sustainability of this moveme…
